unconscious bias in our work relationships and environments?
As a start, each of us can make a real impact by:
• acknowledging that we have unconscious biases,
• honestly taking stock of what our personal unconscious
biases are (maybe even writing them down so they are
not forgotten),
• understanding how these personal unconscious
biases operate in our work decisions, actions, and
relationships,
• developing personal strategies for controlling them,
and
• encouraging our colleagues to do the same.

journeys in coming to terms with and trying to take charge of
their unconscious biases. ILTA
