Despite our best intentions to be fair and objective, unconscious bias based on our society’s expectations of age, gender, race or other aspects of identity can creep up in all kinds of everyday opportunities.

Read on to learn how you can break the cycle, pay it forward, cocreate new expectations and make the world a better place.
