Watch Vernā Myers - How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them

Introducing Vernā Myers, our keynote speaker for PropelHer’s 10th anniversary event, kindly supported by Aircastle.

If you're not familiar with Vernā, she is widely known for her 2014 TEDx talk, “How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them," where she challenges us to recognise our preconceptions, our unconscious biases that are inherent to us all. She encourages us to walk toward our discomfort and that building inclusivity may feel uncomfortable before it becomes comfortable. In the talk, she shares memorable, human examples of how bias can show up even when our intentions are good, and she offers practical ways to “rewrite the default settings”. If you haven’t seen it (or it’s been a while), be sure to give it a watch.
