There is a lot of talk about diversity as the best way to create synergies, creativity, and innovation in organization and societies. However, diversity is only one side of the coin. The other side is inclusion. Without inclusion, diversity becomes just a nice word, but it does not generate actions and therefore does not meet the objectives that make it valuable. To embrace diversity and become inclusive, we must overcome some emotional and mental barriers, present in ourselves as individuals but also in organizations. Understanding how these barriers work, how to recognize them and how to face them, is the objective of this Cultural Pop-Up.
What we will focus on:
- Understanding these barriers: bias, stereotype and prejudice.
- Focus on “unconscious bias” as the most unpredictable form of mental barriers.
- Understand why, where and how unconscious biases are formed.
- A simple model to recognize and work in my unconscious biases.
- How to introduce unconscious bias in cultural training.
This session is designed for trainers, coaches, lecturers and consultants working in the area of intercultural communication or anyone interested in the topic.
