Don't Be the 'Work Jerk': Combat Your Implicit Biases

In this empowering and engaging presentation, Stacy leads a discussion on some of the ways Implicit Bias affects the work environment, from the C-suite down.

Everyone has some sort of bias and the only way to work through it is to recognize, accept, and own it.

Drawing on her background in communication and as a minority woman in business, she will provide tools and actionable strategies for audience members to implement in their personal and professional settings to recognize their own biases, chart a course for correction, and create lasting change in their lives.
