There are also many self-reflective activities you can do for your own awareness.\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Journal about someone you meet. After six months journal about them again.\u00a0 Compare the two journal entries to see what assumptions you had initially that are different now.<\/li>\n<li>When you meet someone that is different or even uncomfortable for you, imagine how other people in their life might perceive them.<\/li>\n<li>Be interested and curious about others and invite them to share about themselves. Respect and appreciate what they are willing to share.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can a coach help me?\u00a0 A coach is an amazing partner that will ask you questions to support your thinking.\u00a0 A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coach-123.com\/coaching-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coach<\/a> can help you review your own assessments and then help you choose what to do with what you learned.\u00a0 A coach is a partner for designing your own self-reflective activities and then to debrief them for insights, learning, and application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the tough question: is it worth the time and energy?\u00a0 Easy for others to tell you yes and more of a challenge to reflect for yourself.\u00a0 So, consider this: what kind of a person do you want to be?\u00a0 What are the benefits of living with your biases?\u00a0 What are the benefits of becoming aware of your biases and changing your thinking?\u00a0 And, ultimately, how committed are you to doing the right thing?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Unconscious Bias?\u00a0 Biases that we are unaware of because they live in the subconscious.
