Meetings: Emotional Intelligence - Recognizing Your Own Bias

In this meeting, we'll be discussing the importance of recognizing your own bias. It's not just about recognizing other people's biases, it's also about being aware of your own.

Why is it hard to recognize your own bias?

Well, for one, it's like trying to see the tip of your nose - you can't quite see it. But, with practice, you can develop a few tricks to help you out:

• 1. Ask yourself if you're just making excuses or offering reasons.
• 2. Seek out diverse perspectives - like asking someone from a different department, or a different company.
• 3. Challenge your own assumptions - like questioning your own gut feelings.
