This powerful training provides people and organizations with practical knowledge, tools, and techniques to understand the widespread phenomenon of unconscious bias, to deconstruct their own biases, and to more effectively recognize, navigate, and change biased policies and systems. 

This course incorporates experiential learning exercises that enable you to discern in your own mind and body, the neural mechanisms underlying unconscious bias, so that you are mindful when these mechanisms arise in your everyday life. 

It will also show you how to activate neural pathways that enable you to counteract biases and more effectively engage with people whose perspectives and backgrounds may be very different from your own.

At the end of this course, you will: 

• Understand how the associative activation of neurons leads to the formation of unconscious bias.
• Observe and sense how biases are marked by emotional valence and are associated with three patterns of brain activation.
• Identify patterns for “universal” biases that are hard-wired into the human brain.
• Understand the effects of social conditioning, power dynamics, and intersectionality on career progression and how to apply neuroscience and mindfulness to address and neutralize these effects.
