We'\;re al
l biased. Our experiences shape who we are\, and our race\, ethnicity\, ge
nder\, height\, weight\, sexual orientation\, place of birth\, and other f
actors impact the lens with which we view the world. In this course\, dive
rsity expert Stacey Gordon helps you recognize and acknowledge your own bi
ases so that you can identify them when making decisions\, and prevent you
rself from making calls based on a biased viewpoint. Stacey explains some
of the most common forms that a bias takes: affinity bias\, halo bias\, pe
rception bias\, and confirmation bias. She helps you recognize the negativ
e effects of bias within your organization\, as well as the benefits to be
realized by uncovering bias in decision-making processes. Finally\, she o
utlines strategies for overcoming personal and organizational bias.
