Perspectives: Breaking Through Bias
A consultant’s guide to challenging client misperceptions
Your clients come to you seeking knowledge, guidance, and expertise. So, it can be discouraging when a client, or anyone else, actively downplays or disregards that expertise based on age, gender, race, or other traits.

You’ll learn:
- The consequences of client bias in consulting engagements
- How to identify your own conscious (or unconscious) bias
- Ways to challenge client bias and forge a partnership grounded in fairness
- And more!
