Bias is in our heads. Bias is in our MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™).
Bias totally permeates us and the rest of society.
It’s embedded in our schools, our religions and all forms of AI.
Experts, educators, gurus, and pundits analyze it, write about it, consult about it, and coach on it.
And often contradict each other.
If bias is this pervasive, the experts so ineffectual and management so ambivalent, what can one person do on their own?
You can access your MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™) where bias lives.
No one else can, only you.
That means you can change your MAP.
No one else can, only you.
One bias at a time.
