All of see the world through lenses - lenses formed by our values and personalities, our life experiences, the people around us, the interests we have, the places we work. These things make us who we are, influence our strengths and weaknesses, and most importantly, impact the ways in which we respond and react to the people and world around us. These lenses form from our conscious and unconscious biases, which place us in various positions of privilege and oppression, depending upon the contexts which we flow through in life. Today in the Discomfort Zone podcast, Jodi, Julianna, Marga, Nirvani, Priya, Reina and Roshni explore the first half of a two-part series that considers diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging and its relevance to leadership. In this first episode, we delve into the experiences which we have had with unconscious bias, on both the receiving and giving sides, and how we strive to become more aware of our unconscious biases.
