In our Developing Female Leaders workshop, we set specific intentions for personal and professional aspirations, which each participant infused into their personalized Vision Board.
Participants were encouraged to take a few Implicit Association Tests in advance of the workshop, and together we worked to understand our own biases and their impact, as well as the impact that others' biases have on us.
Over the course of the retreat, our goals were to create opportunities for relationship-building and bonding for the new class, and providing thought-provoking prompts for each woman to reflect on her career path and goals for the coming year.
Throughout each of the women's leadership stories, there was a common thread: making space for the women that you mentor or those that will come after you to rise higher.
This month's topic was on Uncovering Unconscious Bias—setting the foundation for increasing our awareness of our own biases, and how they influence our interactions with the people around us.
