What does your brain look like?

Maybe this was a thought that you had after last week's episode. Stephen admits himself that these kinds of questions make himself nervous. After all, something you can't see or perceive can crucially impact others.

So what can be done?

In this episode, we'll discuss Beyond Bias: Move From Awareness to Action by Dr. Cathleen Clerkin. We'll be identifying some strategies that could be helpful in improving our own self-awareness.

You ever wonder what's underneath the hood of your noggin? Let's start Evaluating.

This will be the first of a three part mini-series addressing our own personal biases. Before Stephen gets into real philosophy we have to understand what we are already thinking.

In this episode we will be addressing questions like: What is bias? Is bias bad? What does bias enable? And so forth.

Questions to remember from this episode: Why do I feel the way that I do about something? Is it positive or negative? Where does it stem from? Is this preventing me from considering something new?

Thanks for stopping in! For this episode, Stephen will be introducing himself to all of you! After all, we always need a little context!

Know Thyself

Over the last few weeks, several thoughts have been on our minds. We recently just launched a new website, along with other such endeavors. Given recent events and the coming holidays with family, we thought it important to come back, covering something that we all could improve:

The ability to Listen.

In this episode, we delve into this critical yet overlooked skill. We explore the stages of development in listening, inspired by the insights of thought leaders like Stephen Covey and Julian Treasure. Discover common incompetencies in how we process and respond, and uncover how biases impact effective communication.
