Show Notes

In today's episode of Lean Into You, we talk with Rebecca Slaby, the Executive Director of Amazeworks. In this two part conversation we will talk about how directors can create a culture of belonging through anti-bias training.  In part one, we will cover:
   
     1) What biases are and some of the misconceptions surrounding having a bias
     2) The difference between creating a safe space and creating a brave space
     3) What it means to call someone in versus calling someone out
     4) How the core of this conversation stems from understanding intent versus impact
