Implicit Bias & Microaggressions

$0.00

We all carry biases we may not be aware of, which can manifest as microaggressions—subtle, often unintentional remarks or actions that marginalize others. This workshop offers a reflective space to identify and address microaggressive behavior in both interpersonal and institutional contexts. Through probing questions and informed discussion, participants will learn to cultivate mindful awareness and proactively counteract the biases that harm team cohesion, trust, and equity.
