Ways to reduce your own biases include reflecting on your assumptions, recognizing the power dynamics that inform situations, being mindful of other people’s experiences, having multiple points of view represented in discussions and teams, and being open to feedback. You can also practice active listening and strive for equitable outcomes. Additionally, be aware of cultural and historical biases such as systemic racism which can lead to unintentional discrimination or unfair treatment. Finally, read widely from perspectives that challenge your current point of view.

The first way to reduce biases is to become aware of their existence. Once you realize how biased you can be, it'll be easier to spot them and make adjustments. Additionally, take steps to minimize the negative impacts of your bias by seeking out differing opinions and points of view, especially from minority groups who have experienced systemic oppression. You can also read books or reports that tackle issues related to diversity, inclusion and bias-prevention. Finally, challenge yourself: when considering a controversial issue or an argument made by someone from a disadvantaged group, ask yourself “Could I be wrong?”
