Welcome to Bias Detox, a quick guide to identifying implicit bias. This series from the Morris Perspective Podcast is designed to help you tackle bias in your everyday life. I'm your host, Connie Morris, and today's episode is all about identifying implicit bias. Those sneaky, unconscious attitudes and stereotypes influence our actions, without us even realizing it.

We detox everything else these days—our bodies, our closets, even our social media feeds. So why not detox our minds too? After all, if you're willing to drink chaos smoothies to cleanse your bodies, we should be just as willing to clear out the biases that are cluttering up our thoughts. In just a few moments, I'll give you a quick overview of what implicit biases are, share a simple assessment tool, and provide practical steps you can take right now to start recognizing and addressing your own biases.

Whether this is a new topic or you're a seasoned pro looking to freshen up your perspective, this episode will give you the tools you need to start your mental detox. So grab your metaphorical shake and let's get to purging out those biases. Remember, identifying implicit bias is just the first step in a much larger journey towards understanding and overcoming bias. Just like any good detox, it's something you'll want to revisit regularly.

Thank you for joining me, Connie Morris, on this quick guide to identifying implicit bias. Keep reflecting, keep learning, and remember, the only thing we want to keep in our minds is good vibes. Everything else, we detox. Until next time, stay mindful, stay committed, and keep that mental clutter in check. This is The Morris Perspective. Until we meet again, goodbye.

Welcome back to Bias Busters 15 Minutes with the Morris Perspective. I'm your host, Connie Morris, and I'm thrilled to have you join us for our sixth episode, Perspective Taking: Seeing Other Viewpoints.

In today's episode, we explore the transformative skill of perspective-taking and understanding others' viewpoints. Inspired by Wayne Dyer's quote, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change," we dive into exercises designed to help you see the world through different lenses.

First, we step into our neighbor's shoes, imagining their daily routines and challenges to build empathy and reduce biases. Next, we take on the "office swap," inspired by the TV show Undercover Boss, to understand the stresses and motivations of our coworkers.

We also discuss practical tips for developing perspective-taking skills in our daily lives, such as active listening, asking open-ended questions, seeking diverse experiences, and reflecting on our own biases.

Join us as we challenge our assumptions and strive to create a more compassionate and understanding world. Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share the podcast with others. Together, let's bust bias and embrace empathy.

Thank you for tuning in. Until next time, stay open-minded, and let's bust bias together.
