THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CALLING OUT UNCONSCIOUS BIAS IN THE WORKPLACE

What if you could call out career-stifling unconscious bias in the moment and recondition the perpetrator without being seen as:

  • Hostile,
  • A non-team player,
  • Bigoted,
  • Having a chip on your shoulder, or
  • Projecting your own bias?

How can you address career-stifling and conflict-generating bias that comes from your boss, staff, or colleagues without losing your composure?

Leading workplace-bias expert Buki Mosaku shows how unidirectional strategies for tackling unconscious bias are creating a diversity and EXCLUSION nightmare in the corporate world! He offers a proven, practical toolkit for navigating all forms of workplace bias—whether related to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, sex, etc.—through his groundbreaking IDU Methodology. Its tools empower minorities, marginalized groups, and the majority to effortlessly dismantle bias whenever they sense it, without inciting unwanted results.

Discover the only practical guide to navigating multidirectional unconscious bias in the workplace that empowers the victim, whoever they may be, to respond quickly and effectively– removing related disengagement, under-representation, lawsuits, attrition, and reputational damage once and for all.
