Workshop Description: Scientists such as BF Skinner and Pavlov have long provided many renditions on how our unconscious thoughts control our behavior. Many of us are not aware of how our thoughts and assumptions, negative or positive, impact our daily decisions. No one is immune from bias, hidden or otherwise, but when they rear their ugly heads it allows well-meaning people to make catastrophic errors that adversely affect their organization and themselves. We will focus on discovering hidden bias, four levels of competence/awareness and how bias is developed.
