The Bolder Company is proud to partner with training and consulting company Lifestage, Inc. to bring your our latest workshop collaboration - Unpacking the Inside Game of Unconcious Bias.

Join us Friday July 31, 2020 @ 9:00-11:30 am EDT - ONLINE!

Meaningful, enduring change involves mobilizing the power of the unconscious to positive ends. Social workers, counselors, coaches, and others working to help individuals and communities shape their lives recognize the unconscious mind as a pervasive influence on perception and decision-making and the complexity of belief systems, defenses, and automatic/habitual thinking and behaviors. Whether working with individuals in 1:1 consultations, families, groups or communities, making the unconscious conscious is an ongoing process that expands the field of available choices. 

This workshop is an opportunity to learn about a process of unpacking the unconscious biases that are an inescapable reality for human beings and gain a toolkit for understanding the filters that impact the capacity to listen, take in what other people are communicating and process new information in order to learn and grow. 

Using Applied Improvisation and other experiential exercises we will identify, acknowledge, and examine biases and discover opportunities for reflection, sharing, and choice in a safe psychological space. There will be ample opportunities to debrief and discuss applications to practice.

OBJECTIVES:

• Learn how to help clients track their own patterns of perception and behavior without self-judgement

• Identify core beliefs that form mental filters through which people view, interpret and judge themselves and others

• Learn 3 techniques for raising awareness of and examining unconscious bias

• Gain knowledge about positive, affirming experiential processes that reveal unconscious biases and can aid in realizing conscious shifts in thinking and attitudes
