  • Understanding and Separating Your Bias- on 11/6

Do you wonder why are naturally drawn to some people and gloss over others? When meeting others you may notice you instantly are favorable to some people and cautious around others. Does that change as you get to know them?  During this session we will explore the reasons for this, and draw attention how this might affect interviewing, hiring, or creating a work environment, and use this knowledge to do what is best for your organization.
