Thursday, 3 September 2020 – 12 Noon EDT (GMT-4)
Our brain takes in 11 million bits of information per second, but is only able to fully process 40 bits. The information we filter affects how and why we make the decisions we do. Learn more about the impact of implicit and unconscious bias has on our decision-making and how we can actively shift our behavior, attitudes and actions to ensure we are engaging from a place of greater awareness.
Takeaways include the following:
- Participants will learn how to manage their bias when making business decisions impacting employees
- Participants will learn how societal and political issues impact our bias, and develop actions to remain mindful at all times
- Participants will learn proven strategies to minimize unconscious & implicit bias, microaggressions and intersectionality

I registered for an online course, what are my next steps?
Once you register for an online course, you will receive a confirmation receipt that day. A majority of our online courses uses Moodle, STC's course management site, which attendees will receive the login instructions two (2) days before the course begins.
If you cannot access Adobe Connect and/or Moodle (as needed), then you will not be able to successfully complete an online course.
I registered for a webinar, but will be unable to attend. Will a recording be available?
If a registered attendee is unable to attend a webinar that day, they will receive an email with a link to the recording, and an evaluation link along with the PDF of the presentation.
I registered for a webinar and/or an online course, but cannot attend at that time. Will I receive a refund?
If a registered attendee is unable to attend a webinar and/or an online course, the cost is transferable to a future event, but is not refundable. Online registration closes one-two business days before the education event begins.
I want to take a specific course that isn't listed online. Will it be offered in the future?
STC rotates its courses every year as we try to offer the most popular ones within the first half of the year. Online courses are subject to change or are offered more than once per quarter. If a course is not listed, STC will offer it again in the following year.
