referred to as ‘second generation’ gender bias, it involves subtle and often invisible barriers for women due to cultural assumptions and patterns of behaviour that benefit men and put women at a disadvantage. These bias manifests itself in the lack of role models, gendered jobs and career paths, lack of access to sponsorship programs and informal power circles. It also includes the double-bind, assertive behaviour that is admired in men and chastised for women. this interactive and practical workshop will explore individual and cultural bias that impact women in their working & personal relationships. Allowing participants, in a safe environment to both understand unconscious bias and develop personal strategies to enhance and empower themselves in the workplace.
