Cultural Humility: A Framework to Mitigate Personal Bias

We all have biases that show up in our interactions and perceptions of others.  But these biases can be problematic when they are used unconsciously or consciously to judge, misinterpret, or limit our interactions with others.  How often do you pause and reflect on your social interactions and ask yourself “What did I assume about this person that was not accurate”?   By reflecting and holding ourselves accountable to how biases show up in our interactions, we not only encourage our own personal growth, but we also create opportunity to fully understand another person’s lived experience.   

Join us online to understand the root cause of your biases and develop a practice that helps mitigate bias in your interactions with others.  In this training, you will learn how to develop cultural humility as a framework and daily practice that helps you: 

• Suspend judgement and be curious about other people’s perspectives and backgrounds 
• Ask questions to aid you in reflection about your own beliefs and behaviors  
• Interpret your interactions with others 

You will also explore barriers that might perpetuate your assumptions about others and prevent you from developing this practice.  Cultural humility will not only encourage your personal development and growth through self-reflection, but it will also foster meaningful growth in your relationships with others as you begin to experience those relationships with a newfound sense of wonderment and openness.
