“Great find on the speaker – I must be honest, out of all the speakers thus far, including Condoleeza Rice and Amy Cuddy, Dr. Shawn Andrews gave the most concrete action items for us to work on. I love her addition of the “Emotional Intelligence Team Effectiveness Questionnaire” at the end. Really well, thought-out!”

“Shawn, I loved the presentation and the group discussions on bias! I also thought that the SCARF model was a great framework in facilitating the conversation, and the Rule of 3 was very thought provoking as I was thinking about how we hire right out of college. I can’t wait to hear more content from you.”
Shawna M. Bode, Director, Western Region Immunology-Rheumatology, AbbVie
“This presentation was a great experience and very insightful. I learned so much about myself and the colleagues I will be working with – both men and women. The strategies will be helpful to take bias out of our decision-making.”
