Unconscious Bias can affect how we interact with everyone around us and judge others based on our own lived experiences or perceptions of who they are. Brian Duggan leads us in a conversation to challenge us to accept our own unconscious biases to be more open and create stronger connections and understanding while working in the global world. Brian said we need to “be open to the fact that my experience is my experience, and to wonder about other’s experiences.” as a way of improving our cultural intelligence.

We go undercover with Dorothea Bozicolona-Volpe to learn about her approach called Social Espionage, a way to listen and learn from your audience and then properly plan your strategy and personal branding. With her use of relevant case studies examples from the world’s biggest brands and her openness to share her own life lessons and personal anecdotes gleaned from her grandfather, this episode made Greg and Dave reflect themselves on what they could be improving in their own personal branding efforts.
