“This was completely different than any of the bias training[s] I have taken in the past...”
“…It talks about the science behind bias in a way that was compelling, informative and concise.”
“William T. Cox is an animated and energetic presenter. This topic can cause participants to shut down/feel attacked/feel guilt. However, he did not allow any member to go down that path because of his presentation style. Loved the push to look at yourself vs. just pointing out other's bias.”
“Very engaging, gave great examples and Dr. Cox is very relatable”
“I felt like I could relate more to this training than previous trainings”
