Bias Override: Additional Resources
Thank you!
Thank you for attending NAR’s Bias Override class. Thank you for your commitment to simply be better — to serve consumers and your clients better, to communicate better, to interact better. When we acknowledge that we have bias, inherently, we grow. Learning the mind science of bias makes it easier to acknowledge those biases, because mind science helps us to understand that our biases are not flaws, they do not make us less than our colleagues or friends — they simply exist, and they are challenges to all of us. The act of working every day to overcome those challenges makes us better.
Thank you for committing to become better along with me!
