We all have unconscious personal biases that are deeply ingrained in our brains. These biases can influence many of our decisions, including those we make at work. The first step to managing these biases is to uncover what they are. When we are aware of our assumptions and beliefs, we can start choosing which are serving us and which are holding us back.
