Privilege and Bias in the Workplace (James Pogue, PhD)

Being a lifelong learner I am an all-access student at Mindvalley.com. Having recently heard this excellent podcast, Superhumans at Work, featuring diversity and inclusivity expert James Pogue, Ph.D. I wanted to share it. (starts at 2:30)

Listen as Dr. Pogue unpacks the complex and multi-layered issue of unconscious biases that often shape our actions at work. Some of the highlights (that I especially appreciated) of this episode included

:

• How to promote genuine inclusivity: Examples of the sort of questions we should be asking leaders if we truly want to create a diverse workplace

• The 8 Unconscious Social Biases: what they are and what you can do to address them.

• Why acknowledging your own degree of privilege (which varies greatly from person to person) is a critical step to creating a fair and balanced workplace
