Abstract
Stereotypes have been a destructive force in the workplace, in our relationships, and in our lives in general. This highly energetic session is designed to transform the stereotypes process into a dialogue that will make us more aware of our tendency to stereotype others and will prepare us to become more sensitive to the diversity we encounter in our jobs and in our lives. By the end of this session, participants will be able to understand the importance of first impressions and ways stereotypes can be eliminated.
