Interrupting Bias in Industry Settings

Use this resource to help you practice ways to interrupt bias in real-life situations.

• Click the “View” button to see an online version, or click the “Download” button to download a printable copy of this resource and facilitation guide.
• Additionally, download this slide deck, complete with talking points, to provide an introduction to implicit bias and to “why diversity matters,” setting the stage for discussing the real-life scenarios included in this resource.

We suggest either using the slides as “pre-work” ahead of a small group session or at the very beginning of a session. Doing so can help clarify any questions or concerns and helps introduce implicit bias in a productive, nonjudgmental way that will lead to better discussion of how to interrupt bias in the toolkit scenarios.
