SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Unconscious Bias Training That Actually Makes a Difference \n \n  \nUnconscious bias training is rapidly finding a place in training menus across the country and beyond.  The reasoning behind this trend is perfectly sound\, grounded in a commitment to foster workplace environments that succeed in efforts to embrace the advantages of workforce diversity\, including fostering increased creativity\, improving decision-making\, enhancing teamwork\, achieving exemplary customer service and community relations\, with improved financial performance.  However\, as we shall see\, this training all too often falls far short of its potential as an organizational intervention. \nWhy Unconscious Bias Training? \nWhat is the purpose of unconscious bias training? We’ve come to understand that humans are enormously subject to unconscious bias in our thinking\, attitudes\, and resulting behaviors.  With the human brain encountering as much as 11 million bits of data per second\, we reflexively rely on enormous data reduction and simplification tricks to simply function\, moment to moment.  Sounds good\, except\, it turns out the non-conscious mental shortcuts we end up using in problem-solving and decision-making (often called heuristics) are greatly subject to bias\, influenced by the worldview we are exposed to in our environment.  The attitudes\, beliefs and storylines transmitted to us by family\, schools\, community\, and media provide a template that we naturally employ in making sense of what we encounter in the world. \nThose mental frameworks are socially inherited from prior generations\, including the fears and biases about others that were prevalent in the past and are tied to the neurophysiological programming of our earliest species survival models.  Thus\, we inherit data processing algorithms that are centuries\, even millennia out of date.  It is no wonder\, then\, that we are apt to make split-second negative judgements about people who are different from us\, without ever consciously considering our response or how we came to that conclusion.  This is unconscious bias in action\, and it interferes directly with our interpersonal\, leadership and organizational competence. \nWhy Does It Fall Short? \nFaced with limited success in efforts to foster a successfully inclusive environment\, many organizations have identified unconscious bias as a critical obstacle to successfully employing\, retaining and utilizing a diverse workforce.  Trainings have rolled out that identify the mental processes underlying unconscious bias\, how it shows up\, the business and human impacts\, and sources of attitudes that affect our judgements about others.  In addition\, this training often leads participants in self-examination of the biases they may hold and the behaviors\, from micro-aggressions to adverse employment decisions\, that can ensue.   And then participants are sent back to work with advice on what not to do as a result of their bias – a sort of aversive model that can have unintended consequences\, such as leading people to avoid having interactions with colleagues\, so as to avoid making a mistake. \nUnfortunately\, we now know when we simply add conscious awareness of our bias to an existing base of unconscious attitudes\, we can exacerbate the negative behavior we are aiming to reduce\, particularly when we are activated to avoid doing the wrong thing.   It turns out that\, when we don’t provide a set of strategies or practices that can be employed by individuals to intentionally overwrite the biased mental frames they are carrying\, bias can\, in fact\, worsen. \n Unconscious Bias Training as Skill-Building \nIt is possible\, however\, to provide robust tools for reasserting control over our thinking and making active choices about what we allow to influence our attitudes\, behaviors\, and decisions.  Building on the same training platform\, we can go beyond basic understanding of unconscious bias to provide very accessible personal practices that have demonstrated powerful bias-reduction and that stimulate inclusive behaviors and attitudes.  In the training space\, these exercises translate into easily learned and practiced skills for enhanced self-awareness\, for noting how bias intercedes in our thinking\, and for building alternative storylines that first counteract\, then overwrite the negative interpretations embedded in the bias. \nStrategies that serve this purpose engage us in building a set of habits that help old biases fade and foster new\, positive beliefs and attitudes.  These exercises undertake activities such as stereotype replacement\, perspective-taking\, courageous conversations\, micro-affirmations\, goals setting\, and more.  Rather than focusing on aversion to bad behavior\, all of these tactics are oriented toward increasing for clear thinking about our own mental processes\, explicitly recognizing our capacity for personal and professional growth and committed action.   With practice\, these skills can become second nature\, a continuous\, self-enhancing process that includes: \n\nrecognizing bias in our thoughts\,\nconsidering where the bias came from\,\nexamining data that contradicts those negative stories\,\ndeepening our insight and empathy for the experiences and challenges of others\,\nengaging in honest\, open-ended exploration of colleagues’ experiences\,\nbuilding new internal narratives based on attention to strengths and contributions\, and\nsetting goals for our own learning and inclusive behavior\, tied to proactive changes in the workplace environment.\n\nThese are the goals of the most effective and impactful unconscious bias training\, invigorating participants’ sense of positive possibilities and self-empowered learning in service to the organization’s vision of a truly inclusive workplace that brings out the best of every employee. \nLeveraging for Culture Change \nOne further thought. Naturally\, the highest return on this investment occurs when cohorts undertake this proactive learning together.  Because the model is non-judgmental\, yet focused on action-oriented personal\, professional\, and team development\, colleagues can enroll to help each other continue the journey of self-discovery in an atmosphere of cooperative learning tied to motivation for positive results.  This\, in turn\, enhances individual and group emotional intelligence\, generates a new shared language for naming and depowering bias.  This fosters supportive accountability for inclusiveness and stimulates a collective commitment to examining and evolving work practices that rise above the bias of the past. \nThis is the good news.  Rather than “flavor of the week”\, unconscious bias training can really work.  When focused on skills of rewriting mental scripts and growing new personal and professional competence\, unconscious bias training can be a potent cornerstone of leadership development and organizational culture change. \nChristopher (Kit) Tennis\, Ph.D. & Anita L. Sanchez\, Ph.D.

SUMMARY:Bioneers Conference
DESCRIPTION:Mission\nBioneers is a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges. \nA New Word\nFounder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates\, and to mimic “nature’s operating instructions” to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature’s principles—kinship\, cooperation\, diversity\, symbiosis and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable\, compassionate and democratic society. \nA Leading Source of Innovative Solutions\nAs a 501c3 nonprofit organization\, we provide a forum and social hub for education about solutions presented through the Bioneers Conference and our programs. Our media productions leverage this content to reach millions of people around the nation and the world with our award-winning radio series\, Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature; anthology book series; television programs; and our interactive website. We act as a key source for the media\, including third-party films and the press. Our DVDs\, CDs and other educational materials are also used by colleges and schools and by community-based and other organizations to inform and inspire positive change at the local level. \nAn Annual Conference\nThe Bioneers Conference is a leading-edge forum where you can see tomorrow today: a future environment of hope. Social and scientific innovators focus on breakthrough solutions inspired by nature and human ingenuity.  These visionaries are already creating the healthy\, diverse\, equitable and beautiful world we want to live in—our legacy for future generations and the web of life on which our lives depend. You can connect with hundreds or  thousands of engaged folks making a real difference. \nIn 2008\, more than 12\,000 people attended our main Bioneers Conference in San Rafael\, California and 18 local Beaming Bioneers satellite conferences across the country. Bioneers fosters connection\, cross-pollination and  collaboration by bringing together diverse people and projects. We link strategic networks at the local\, regional\, national and international levels. \nA Systemic Framework\nThe bioneers are engaged citizens from all backgrounds and fields who focus on solving our world’s most urgent problems within a framework of interdependence: It’s all connected. Just as the web of life is intricately interconnected\, so too are all environmental and social issues. We take a “solve-the-whole-problem” approach that is holistic\, systemic and multidisciplinary. \nA Network of Networks\nBioneers fosters connection\, cross-pollination and collaboration by bringing together diverse people and projects within a broadly progressive framework. We connect people with solutions and grow social capital for positive change by linking strategic networks on the local\, regional\, national and international levels. \nA Catalyst for Restoration\nSustainability is the dynamic midpoint between perpetual natural cycles of destruction and restoration. In this severely damaged and depleted world\, we need to tip the scales toward restoration\, regeneration and resilience to sustain the web of life for future generations. \nAn Oasis of Hope\nAs a celebration of the dazzling genius of people and nature\, Bioneers helps spark mass creativity and engagement. As author and social entrepreneur Paul Hawken said\, “Bioneers is central to the re-imagination of what it means to be human.”
