Overt racism is easy to identify. But what about unconscious bias – soft prejudices that we all have, but of which we are basically unaware? In today’s heated social and global climate, this lack of awareness can deeply impact your professional and personal life, as well as the way you unintentionally communicate and think. It can even have serious economic ramifications.

This provocative talk will take a deep dive into the subject, where you will confront your own biases and see how you – regardless of race, status, income or education – have been a victim of unconscious bias.
