Event Details
Implicit Bias & Persistent Injustices
Wednesday, July 22nd; 9am - 12pm (in Person)
Did you know that bias isn't always obvious? Have you ever wondered how bias shapes our perceptions and influences our actions without us even realizing it?
Explore how our subconscious beliefs impact our decisions every day. Embark on a journey of discovery with our interactive workshop designed to unravel the intricacies of bias. Join Diane Burbie from The Aspire group into understanding implicit bias and its stark contrast with explicit bias, while exploring their profound impact on perpetuating social injustices.
Through engaging exercises, live polling, and compelling video examples, participants will navigate various topics and collectively analyze current events. The course offers tools for translating the concepts into personal actions and application. Models for interrupting bias in ourselves and others point out what we can implement immediately. Additional resources are shared that support robust reading, studying and engagement with others.
Course Objectives:
Trainer: Diane Burbie, The ASPIRE Group

Diane Burbie is the owner and Managing Principal of The ASPIRE Group. She is an experienced consultant, facilitator, and coach. She has facilitated processes with a myriad of audiences across the United States, US Virgin Islands, China, South Africa, England, Canada, and Jamaica. She has served in executive, management, and consultant capacities with for-profit corporations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. Diane has more than 25 years of experience. The focus of her work is in four (4) areas of practice: 1) equity, diversity, inclusion, and access (EDIA); 2) strategic planning; 3) leadership development/coaching; and 4) conflict resolution. Often sought out for her experience in addressing complex business issues - a typical ASPIRE project involves two or more of these areas. Her approach to any body of work includes an equity lens and supports clients in fully integrating equity principles and practices into their education, planning, leadership, operations, and implementation efforts.
