GIG: Outsmart Your Brain: Nudging for Inclusive Culture

Lowcountry GIG Proudly Presents

Outsmart Your Brain:

Nudging for Inclusive Culture

Presented By:

Lisa Kepinski

Program Description:

In terms of creating a diverse and inclusive culture, the unconscious brain is one of the biggest challenges for organizations and leaders in the 21st century.  This session introduces what is unconscious bias and takes a key concept from Behavioral Economics, called Nudges, and uses it as a method for furthering an Inclusive Culture.  Content is pulled from Decision Making, Cognitive Biases and Implicit Associations, Sustainable Change, Human Motivation, and Behavioral Economics to lay the foundation for understanding and changing behavior to achieve a more inclusive approach. 

The material draws upon science but is delivered in an interesting manner that is accessible for all and backed up with numerous practical illustrations from the workplace.  Participants leave with a clear sense of understanding of why we may make some of the choices that we do, and how we can outsmart this automatic thinking to be more aligned with our intentions (i.e. treat others more fairly).   Practical examples and content will be selected for audience.
