The unconscious mind is a powerful and intrinsic force in helping to shape our overall behavior in our everyday lives. This interactive session is designed to examine how unconscious bias can affect one's perceptions, decisions, and interactions and highlight the implication this has on our work at UHS.

You will learn to:
• Examine your own background and identities to interact more authentically with co-workers, customers and the community
• Discuss how the brain functions, and relate how unconscious bias is a natural function of the human mind
• Identify patterns of unconscious bias that influence decision-making processes
• Confront internal biases and practice conscious awareness
• Practice strategies to create transformational and systemic change in the workplace

You will benefit by:
• Raising self-awareness, sparking conversation with others and initiating new actions
• Enhancing your professional and personal effectiveness on and off the job
• Positively influencing personal and organizational decisions
• Creating stronger and more positive work relationships with others

This is a "by invitation" only session for Greek Life staff and a limited number of invited attendees.

Each day builds on the prior session. MI is a terrific tool for helping people change behavior. It's an especially helpful tool for medical staff (lifestyle changes and medication adherence), therapists/counselors, Student Life advisers, supervisors and more. Learn basic, foundational skills for MI, including spirit, OARS (open question, affirmations, reflections, summaries), identifying and responding to change talk and discord. Lots of practice in "real plays" (you get to work on your own behavior changes that you are ambivalent about). While you won't be an expert at MI when you are done, you will be able to start the practice, know how to get good at it and maybe even want to learn more!
