How do you BLOOM with The Bias You Swear You Don't Have?

Most of us believe we're fair, open-minded, and objective, but what if our unconscious biases are influencing our decisions and actions without us even realizing it?In this impactful episode, Dr. Darlene and her guest, Laura Harding, activist, attorney, and CEO of Harding Strategies and Consulting, unpack two topics that often spark discomfort but are essential for creating more inclusive environments: implicit bias and microaggressions. They explore the hidden ways implicit bias shows up in everyday interactions, the impact of microaggressions, and how greater self-awareness can lead to stronger relationships, better communication, and more inclusive communities and organizations. By approaching these conversations with curiosity and openness, rather than assigning blame or getting defensive, we create opportunities for growth, understanding, and meaningful change by recognizing our blind spots and learning from them.Guest Link: linkedin.com/in/laura-harding-42832410LinksWebsite: https://www.drdarlene.net/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BLOOMwithDrDarleneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloomwithdrdarlene/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bloomwithdrdarleneSubscribe to us on YouTube to watch our show: https://www.youtube.com/@bloomwithdrdarlenePurchase Dr. Darlene's books: https://amzn.to/47YEtk3
