Let’s challenge our beliefs, open our minds and modify our thinking.

A goal of many organizations is to build an inclusive, positive workplace culture that achieves positive results. Doing so requires us to address how our individual behavior contributes to the culture.

  • What is the Dunning-Kruger Affect?
  • What can we do to assess our biases and challenge our own beliefs?
