Quote: “As a human, you have biases, so just deal with that…that you have biases.  Your biases are based on what you’ve heard, read, seen and experienced in life.”  Kelly Charles-Collins

We aren’t born biased, but everything we learn along our path helps us to create thoughts and opinions about others.  While everyone has it, there is a price to be paid for unconscious bias if it is not controlled or corrected.  On this episode of The Wealthy Speaker Show, we welcome Kelly Charles-Collins to help us discover and leverage the true value of those around us and to help others do the same.
