Implicit Bias

Learn to identify and understand implicit bias, microaggressions and intersectionality. Whether the bias results in poor morale or discrimination, identifying it is the first step to eliminating it.

Assess where you are now

Take time to assess where you are right now. Understand your worth, your accomplishments, your energy and capacity. Once you know where you are, you can make decisions to move toward some new habits and let go of those that are not helpful for you.

Welcome the insight and give yourself the opportunity to grow! Use the Assess where you are now series of questions to help.
