   Diversity, Inclusion & Unconscious Bias are words we hear almost daily now. As much as they have become buzzwords for many companies, they have also been the source of many problems resulting in lawsuits. But… companies don’t have diversity problems; they have people problems. For over 20 years, in one of the most conservative states in the nation Risha Grant has worked tirelessly to educate individuals and companies on the competitive advantage and economic value associated with embracing diversity and inclusion. Her book, That’s BS! How Bias Synapse Disrupts Inclusive Cultures and the Power to Attract Diverse Markets is a culmination of her personal anecdotes and client experiences in running an award-winning Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) communications and consulting company. Many people she has encountered along her journey hold the misconception that D&I is complex and costly. In fact, it’s simple and adds to the bottom line. “Bias is the number one threat to humanity and any company’s success. If your company’s goal is to create cohesiveness within your organization, increase revenue, be innovative and elevate your reputation, the bias in your workplace is a roadblock.” Calling BS on your bias synapse with three simple steps to identify, own and confront your bias – her focus is to help you stop making your issues someone else’s fault. Personally, these steps will open your mind to unconditional acceptance and professionally they will remove barriers to assist you with creating better products and enhancing your services. Additionally, That’s BS will help business and community leaders with strategies to build an inclusive culture and attract diverse markets.
