Diversity Blind Spots and Success at Work

Through fast neutral processing, our brains create associations early in life, and as adults, these associations become unconscious and automatic. These hidden associations about race, gender and age significantly impact our attitudes and assumptions without our awareness. In this seminar, Delee Fromm, a lawyer, psychologist and author will talk about her book, Understanding Gender at Work: How to Use, Lose and Expose Blind Spots for Career Success. She will discuss how blind spots impact skill development, both positively and negatively in the arenas of negotiation, communication, self-promotion, presence and leadership.

You will learn practical tools and techniques for recognizing and reducing blind spots - yours and others. This information will allow you to increase your options for effectively dealing with diversity blind spots at work while providing mentors and champions of race, gender and age diversity with tools for levelling the playing field.
