Elective Session
Workplaces often say, "be yourself" but the reality is everyone isn't afforded the opportunity of true authenticity. So, how do we create spaces for people to feel comfortable with their race, ethnicity, culture, dialect, and more? How do you ensure you show up as you? This session explores the ways to tackle unconscious bias, create spaces of belonging, and discovering moments to thrive in the diversity, equity, and inclusion policies our institutions have. This is an interactive session, providing participants opportunities to create space for authenticity.
