Although MindMarks has trained over 150,000 people across the U.S. and around the world, many of our partners lack the time and/or space to develop a detailed plan on how to identify, manage, and reduce personal and organizational bias. Inspired by the historical impact of ancient Kemet (kim-it) and the need for a deep dive into bias-mitigating solutions, MindMarks has designed a 4-day intensive retreat with the following goals:
-
Each attendee will be able to articulate the business or mission case for identifying, managing, and mitigating both implicit and explicit bias.
-
Development of a multi-year DEI/bias mitigation plan with deliverables, metrics, a budget, and responsible personnel to address disparities in the experiences of employees and/or customers.
-
Team bonding and trust building with coworkers and colleagues required for optimal execution of bias mitigation strategies.
-
A deeper understanding of the Civil Rights Movement, Atlanta’s role in it, and how it modeled bias avoidance and reduction.
Kemet (kim-it) was the original name of the African country currently known as Egypt. For three thousand years before the Common Era (B.C.E.), Kemet was the intellectual capital of the world. People traveled to Kemet from Europe, Asia, other parts of Africa, and the Middle East in pursuit of knowledge, enlightenment, skills, and transformation. A picture of The Kemet Estate is provided in Appendix A.
The Kemet Estate can also host retreats on topics unrelated to DEI/bias mitigation as well as mastermind groups, employee resource groups, and human resources teams.
