Project: Presentation on Mitigating Bias for Service Members

Objective: To design and deliver a compelling and impactful presentation that raises awareness of unconscious bias and provides service members with practical strategies to foster a more inclusive and effective operational environment.

My Role: Instructional Designer & Facilitator

I was responsible for the end-to-end creation and delivery of this critical training, from initial content development to facilitating meaningful group dialogue.

Key Contributions:

• Content Architecture & Development:

  • Researched and synthesized complex concepts related to unconscious bias, tailoring the content to the unique context and chain-of-command structure of military service.

  • Crafted a detailed and logically sequenced presentation outline to ensure clarity, flow, and maximum retention of key concepts.

• Engagement & Facilitation Strategy:

  • Authored a series of thought-provoking, scenario-based discussion questions to move the training beyond passive learning.

  • These questions were strategically designed to stimulate introspection, challenge assumptions, and encourage participants to connect the material to their real-world experiences and decision-making processes.

Outcome: The presentation successfully equipped service members with a heightened awareness of bias and a foundational toolkit for mitigating its effects in both interpersonal and operational settings.
