This toolkit delves into the nature of stereotypes, why they form in our brains, and their implications in various fields such as education, faith, business, and non-profits. We explore the expectations we place on ourselves and others, and how those expectations can sometimes be misguided or harmful. By recognizing our own stereotypes, we foster a culture of understanding and inclusivity. Join us in reflecting on these insights and learn how to break free from harmful molds while promoting positive interactions in all aspects of life.
