Recognizing Unconscious Bias With Stacey Gordon

In this episode Stacey breaks down the distinction between bias and discrimination, highlighting the need for awareness and action to combat both. Stacey A. Gordon is a rockstar when it comes to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and encourages organizations to “Rework Work” and move toward inclusive and enjoyable workplaces. Her LinkedIn Learning course Unconscious Bias has been a huge success and her weekly newsletter Lead With Inclusion offers nuggets of wisdom in every article. Stacey emphasizes the importance of finding the right company fit, urging us to clarify our life goals before choosing an employer, and reminding us that financial stability shouldn't be compromised. Stacey encouraged us to embrace discomfort in DE&I conversations, and my favorite tip she shares, that you can revisit uncomfortable situations later for clarity and closure. Notes:08:10 Stacey's LinkedIn Learning Courses 15:50 How To Make Sure A Company Is A Good Fit For You 20:50 Bias vs Discrimination 30:00 Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable 38:00 You Can Come Back 40:23 Stacey's Action Manual 46:52 How To Impact Change As An Individual 46:32 Speed RoundIf you loved this episode you should check out this episode Advocacy and Storytelling With Richard FowlerIf you enjoyed today’s episode, please:1.)
