10 Talks CONVERSAT10N-

Implicit Bias in the C-Suite

​

Join Carlette Patterson, Head Sports Life Coach® & CEO of Patterson Sports Ventures® and Thomas Newkirk, Attorney and Professional Educator on Implicit Bias as they speak on the presence of implicit gender bias from a business leadership perspective.

 

WINNING STRATEGIES:

EDUCAT10N:

  • As a woman in the workforce climbs the ‘corporate ladder’, there is a higher risk that gender bias will affect her and micro-aggressions will occur. Women in leadership roles often have to make tough calls, engage in disciplinary decisions, and be more direct. These actions do not align with our implicit biases that women should be the nurturing, caring, and agreeable type. 

SOLUT10NS:

  • Women in the C-Suite are not alone. Gather peers who might be at risk of gender bias and create a policy process - framed in terms of research - to avoid blame and shame.

CHAMP10NS 4 CHANGE:

  • Women in the C-Suite can use the Power of Team to CHAMP10N each other and commit to make a lasting change. Educate and empower women within your organization to proactively identify solutions rather than retrospectively reacting to the problem.

10 Talks CONVERSAT10N-

Ignite the Power of Team

 

Join Carlette Patterson, Head Sports Life Coach® & CEO of Patterson Sports Ventures® and Thomas Newkirk, Attorney and Professional Educator on Implicit Bias to hear a conversation about how social science shows that to reduce the potential for a biased response, pre-decisional and post-decisional accountability must be present. This methodology, as part of a written policy to correctly manage student complaints, is a win-win-win for students, coaches, and administrators.

 

WINNING STRATEGIES:

EDUCAT10N:

  • Be aware of the three main areas where bias often shows up against women and be proactive in addressing these biases through company policy and conversation.

SOLUT10NS:

  • Educating and reminding athletes about implicit bias, identity management, and the difficulty of the collegiate athletic process will allow the athlete to be INTENT10NAL and address concerns before assigning blame to the head coach. 

CHAMPIONS 4 CHANGE:

  • Coaches can recover their time and energy when they Ignite the Power of Team and empower athletes to take advantage of the staff and resources provided by the athletic program and the university.
