We do experience implicit bias from our [clients] every now and then, unfortunately; however, as a team and colleagues I believe we came a long way and are supportive and open to one another at our workplace.
Assistant General Manager
I think it was great to be vulnerable with my team in that way. We spend so much time together and know one another so well, that it was a great opportunity to reflect on how all of us lead and communicate. [It] will lead to more accountability and openness down the road.

I am going to try to have a better understanding of the underlying biases that are associated in my day to day life and determine the best way to eliminate those biases.
