InteractiveInclusion Insights: Don't Judge a Book by Its Accent - with Dr. Steve Robbins
Inclusion Insight 1: Don't Judge a Book by its Accent helps people recognize that we all have mental models and stereotypes about people. We pick these up from our environment, and they influence our judgments and interactions.
The Inclusion Insights micro-learning offers a unique perspective on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The modules feature Dr. Steve Robbins, a nationally recognized trainer and consultant on the topics of implicit bias, allyship, bystander intervention and microaggressions. He challenges and motivates people with his storytelling, humor and extensive knowledge. The inclusiveness and power of Dr. Robbins' message are why organizations such as Boeing, Pepsico, McDonald’s, Disney, NASA, Toyota call on him to inspire, educate and prepare their people for the challenges of the 21st-century workplace. In this series, Dr. Robbins shares his concept of “Unintentional Intolerance,” which has won wide acclaim from audiences and organizations across the country. This approach does NOT blame or point fingers. Instead, it challenges individuals and organizations to be more open-minded and intentional about inclusion and to value people for their unique gifts, abilities and experiences.
