SUMMARY:Webinar 6: Managing our Implicit Bias During Crisis: Why it is harder and what to do about it
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free webinar series offering insight on the \n COVID-19 pandemic’s affect on business and how we can move past it. \n\nNo cost to attend; please RSVP below.\n If you are unable to join\, webinars will be recorded and available on our website. \n\n\n \nDate: Tuesday\, May 6 | 8:30 – 9:30am\n Presented by: LB Hannahs\, Ph.D\, Inclusion Development Strategist\, Tangible Development \nProgram Description:\n Implicit biases are the unconscious positive or negative preferences for individuals or groups shaped through your individual experiences. The information\, attitudes\, and stereotypes that inform your unconscious dictate how you take the mental shortcuts required to process the abundance of information you receive at any given second. Managing our implicit biases requires work and daily practice to avoid acting on implicit bias. In moments of crisis the skills we use to manage implicit bias can be overrun by anxiety and stress. In this session\, participants will learn how stress and anxiety impact our ability to manage our implicit bias.  Facilitators from Tangible Development will provide tools and strategies for navigating potential mental traps that could lead to an increase in implicit bias based behaviors and decision-making. \nAbout Tangible Development:   \nBased in Latham\, New York\, we provide full-service customized diversity\, equity\, and inclusion solutions with measurable outcomes resulting in sustainable change. \nOur vision is to ignite individual potential\, humanize business\, and transform organizations. Our work is about real people\, authentic conversations about critical issues\, and innovative solutions that have tangible impacts
