Diversity encompasses many aspects of identity, including the ways we process the world.

There are 7 different ways of processing information:

• Verbal/linguistic,
  
• Mathematical/logical
  
• Musical/audio
  
• Kinesthetic
  
• Interpersonal
  
• Intrapersonal
  
• Visual
  

A commitment to diversity and inclusion in your business has to include your hiring process, and your hiring team needs to be trained to work with people who communicate differently than they do.

Listen in as Dawn provides some examples of how assumptions can get in the way, from a networking meeting to a college class to police training, and explains what you can do to tackle your unconscious biases.
