“Just because you can’t envision yourself doing something doesn’t mean that someone else can’t do it.” - Hellen Asproloupos, Scotiabank
Those were some words of wisdom shared with me recently during the launch of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion’s “Don’t Let A Barrier Be A Bully” campaign.
While my conversation with Hellen began centered around the subject of diversity and inclusion, it quickly migrated to the subject of unconscious bias. As founder of the Sledge Hockey Experience, one of our primary objectives is to help change people’s perspectives from “I can’t” to “I can” and the understand role that unconscious bias might play in the development of this perspective in your workplace.
