Ep 21: When You Think You're Right with Erin Devers

In this conversation, Dr. Erin Devers discusses the concept of bias, its implications for self-perception and leadership, and the importance of understanding our identity. She emphasizes the role of confirmation bias in decision-making and the need for leaders to cultivate humility. Erin also explores the intersection of faith and bias research, highlighting how community can either amplify or reduce bias.  Takeaways Confirmation bias leads us to seek information that supports our beliefs. Self-perception is often clouded by our biases. Understanding our identity in Christ can help us navigate bias.    Episode field note: The easiest way to cultivate humility is to communicate clearly Erin suggests adding probabilities to your decision making, being honest about where you are - for example, “I’m 80% confident that we should go in this direction.” This approach can help build trust and fosters connection.    Resources and links Erin’s website Erin’s Book: The Unbiased Self                                Follow SLI: @spiritualleadershipinc Head to Spiritual Leadership, Inc to take a look at resources for ministry leaders.
