ALT Sketch note text: Unconscious Bias. What is it? It's instinctively categorizing people and things without being aware of it. A flaw in thinking guided by past experiences and mental preconditioning. Did you know there are 150 types of biases? And they impact us, our work and our relationships. How to deal with your biases? 1. Know them well. Read about them, recognize they exist. Be mindful in your words and actions. 2. Think critically. Attend to data and evidences. Look at problems as a diamond with multiple facets and not asa coin with only two sides. 3. Challenge assumptions and traditions. Take a contrary view. Ask why and why not often? Embrace diversity. Practice empathy.
