Bias Can Be A Heavy Word
People often conflate it with prejudice, racism, discrimination, or sexism.
But bias, on its face, is not inherently good or bad. In the simplest of terms, our biases are our preferences.
Understanding two common myths around unconscious bias will help us better understand the role it plays at work.

Myth #1: Bias Is Inherently Negative
At our core, we all identify as good. So if we think bias is inherently negative and only bad people have it, we close off exploring these topics further. We put up walls and say, “I'm not even going to go there because I'm a good person. I try to treat people fairly.” We get defensive.
If we recognize that we all have biases, we can reconcile the two opposing ideas that we can have biases and still be good people. They can coexist. That's what helps us make progress.

Myth #2: If Bias Is A Natural Part Of The Human Condition And How The Brain Works, I Can’t Do Anything About It
After realizing that bias is natural and doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person, people tend to lean into it. That can become problematic.
But neuroscience teaches us that we can mitigate our unconscious bias through neuroplasticity. Once we identify a bias and understand its impact, we can “re-wire” our brains to create new pathways and teach ourselves to think and act differently.
For example, if I am biased about a team member being lazy, I will treat them accordingly.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
