A.C.T. Inclusively™: Re-Pattern Bias in the Brain

Description

Did you know that biases are malleable in the brain? Exciting new research is showing that due to the brain’s plasticity, we can consciously intervene to re-pattern the brain’s responses to differences and biases. Without our conscious intervention, differences that are unfamiliar or cause discomfort block our ability to engage empathy and care, and there is increased likelihood of acting on our biases.

The good news is we can train the brain to engage more readily across differences and strengthen the ability to consistently demonstrate inclusive behaviors. Come join us for this Spotlight session and be introduced to a practical framework, A.C.T. Inclusively™, designed to re-pattern biases and foster higher levels of engagement across differences.
