In today’s episode, we’re diving into the powerful and practical strategies for addressing unconscious bias in a polarized world. We’re joined by DEI expert Sara Taylor, who offers a down-to-earth guide on how to recognize and confront our own biases, both as individuals and within organizations.

Sara walks us through how to slow down our thought processes, question our assumptions, and become more mindful of the filters we apply in everyday situations. She shares relatable examples and actionable tips to help us ask the critical questions: “Do I know that what I’m thinking is actually true?” and “Why might I be reacting this way?”

In this episode, we explore how developing a culturally competent mindset—along with a shared language for discussing bias—can create positive, lasting change. Whether you’re looking to create a more inclusive workplace or make a difference in your community, Sara’s approach offers a hopeful, non-judgmental framework that empowers everyone to act.

Tune in for insights that go beyond individual change to explore how organizations can scale up cultural competence and transform systems. With Sara’s guidance, we’ll discuss how we can all contribute to building a more just and equitable world.
