Health and Education
Combatting Gender Biases
I will share new feeds, videos, and educational material on the definitions of unconscious gender bias and how we can think and act differently. The unconscious aspect of gender bias can more easily be solved by highlighting the ways this shows up. Once one becomes aware, I hope we will see meaningful changes on how we work, live, inspire, teach, .... with each other!
Health and Education
Research Barriers to Participation and Representation
Health and Education
I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Dawn Dornbusch 4/07/2021 10:05 AMHow can you detect if you are using unconscious bias's when working with or hiring others!
If you’re hiring based on ‘gut feeling,’ you’re likely hiring on the basis of unconscious bias. The best way to prevent yourself from succumbing to these unconscious biases is to become aware of them and take action to prevent them when recruiting, hiring and retaining employees. Doing so will help your team build a more diverse and inclusive workplace.

Dawn Dornbusch 3/29/2021 11:19 AMI remember going for walks with my grandpa when I was a young child of 7. When we would walk he had a stick with a point at the end and he would pick up trash along the way. I thought then, that is how you take walks. It was our normal. Unfortunately, as I grew up, I have lost that "normal". But, I am going to bring that tradition back! I gotta find a pointy stick! Who's with me? :)-
