Would you like to create a healthier work culture?…
It’s human nature to categorize other humans based on very little information, such as: skin color, what they’re wearing, how they talk, character traits, perceptions of power, etc. Our brains are designed to do
this constantly and automatically, for our protection and convenience. We do this without any conscious awareness, even if we think we’re not biased. However, this automatic categorization does exist and can create a multitude of problems ranging from small irritations to explosive and disastrous conflicts.
Don’t miss this valuable and engaging program for all Bloomington Area Business and Organizational Professionals. Join featured speaker Michele Mattoon and facilitator Jim McKean on July 28th, 2015 for this fun and informative event!
In this workshop you’ll explore:
-
Why our brains categorize human beings into particular types.
-
The positive and negative consequences of this automatic and mostly unconscious activity.
-
What we can do in our workplaces, practically and intentionally, to unite diverse groups into a healthy, cooperative, collaborative “all of us.”
To insure a high quality experience and individualized attention for all participants, attendance will be limited to 50 people. Registration is offered on a first come basis. So if you’d like to attend, don’t delay! Call Derek Richey at (812) 345-9712 or contact us for more information.
