CREWcial Conversation: Addressing “Cognitive” Bias in Commercial Real Estate

Note Change of Date! Event is now on Friday, February 14.

Agenda:

• 8:00-8:30 Check-In & Networking

• 8:30-9:30 Program Discussion

Join the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee for a discussion on “Cognitive Bias” in Commercial Real Estate. We will explore how factors such as social, family, and work environments influence our decision-making, team dynamics, and client relationships—often outside of our conscious awareness.

Please complete the Gender-Career Implicit Association Test (IAT) by Harvard University Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging. This third-party survey is highly suggested to be completed prior to the event to provide further self-awareness. The conversation will be moderated by Nicole Jacobs-Silvey.
