On the train, with our neighbors, even with our own families and spouses – conflict is a part of everyday life. We can’t avoid conflict, but we can control how we resolve it. Unfortunately, bias can negatively affect our communication with others, creating a real obstacle in resolving conflict. Even more troubling, bias at times can be unconscious, meaning we may have biases we are not aware of. Next week’s virtual event, Beyond Intent: Understanding the Impact of Unconscious Bias will explore unconscious bias and present tools to counteract bias which, in turn, will facilitate more effective communication.
