Do You Really Know the Community You Serve?

Discovering and Overcoming Your Unconscious Bias

Presenters

  • Michelle Tallmadge

Description

Let’s face it, working with people is not always easy. It can be frustrating and downright exhausting if you are honest with yourself. When you look back on those times of frustration, you will realize that our own core beliefs often got in the way. Michelle created this workshop to help people identify their unconscious biases and how they get in our way of building those relationships with the people we serve. This workshop has break-out groups, class participation, and activities to challenge yourself to replace those old, preconceived thoughts and feelings, thereby creating new habits to serve your community more effectively. By sharing her own experiences, she creates a fun and safe space to recognize your personal biases and teaches you steps to overcome them. You will also hear from a diverse panel who share their stories of adversity and how they overcame other people’s biases by discovering their own. You will leave this training feeling empowered to make the personal changes needed to be the best version of yourself to serve others.
