Leaders recognize the need to address racial and other forms of inequity in the workplace now more than any other time in our history. Companies are examining their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategies and seeking solutions to foster a more inclusive workforce. But many organizations are missing a critical piece of the puzzle.
Unconscious bias education is incomplete unless it addresses cognitive processes that underlie prejudice. Mindfulness training is a key ingredient. That’s why we designed the “A Mindful Approach to Addressing Bias” retreat for leaders and teams committed to fostering an inclusive work culture.
Over the course of this retreat, we will examine the nature of unconscious bias and its impact in the workplace. We will explore the science behind mindfulness and how it interrupts automatic, habitual responses. We will discuss how mindfulness can promote higher performance by individuals, teams, and ultimately the organization.
This retreat is designed to be experiential and immersive, allowing participants to engage in mindfulness practices and activities that promote self-awareness, reflection, and empathy. By participating in this retreat, leaders and teams can expect to achieve the following outcomes:
Engagements are delivered as a full-day, half-day, or two-hour experiential workshop.
