The what and why of this workshop invitation

​

You are invited to explore, in an interactive group setting, the natural human experience of biases that may limit our ability to engage with clients and co-workers.

​

In most of our professions we endeavor to create safe spaces for others to become more self-aware. Becoming conscious of the limiting reality of our unconscious biases can move us to greater capacity to be present and create safe spaces with clients, work in teams and become more attentive to the cultural influences in the work we do.

​

As a coach and therapist with a white, male, educated background, I feel passionate and committed to become more aware of how my experience and strengths inform my view of others and ability to be present in supportive relationships. It is from this place of emerging self-awareness that I invite you to enter a group learning experience designed to expand our capacity to be curious, respectful and authentic with others.

​

As a group we will explore our explicit biases and uncover some unconscious biases that can limit our view of the world. With this approach we hope to develop greater cultural intelligence and the capacity to adapt and function with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
