To ensure their long-term success, it is imperative that organizations create a less biased environment, in which all team members feel they belong and can contribute to their full potential.
Anti-Bias
We all have prejudices and biases. They arise, among others, from oppressive systems, such as patriarchy, racism, ableism, classism, ageism, lookism and other -isms. These biases affect and shape our thought patterns to varying degrees, and can lead to us placing others into boxes and frames, which do not accord with who they actually are.
Because these thought patterns have been learned, we can unlearn them. We must become aware of biases, question them, actively address them. The ultimate goal is to form new patterns of behavior which allow us to appreciate people in all their wonderful uniqueness, rather than fitting them into preconceived notions.

Tupoka Ogette
Belonging
To create a culture of belonging, we must become aware of our biases, change conditioned thought patterns and act accordingly. Only then can we appreciate and perceive people for the unique individuals they are.
A sense of belonging is the employee's belief that they are accepted and even valued by colleagues for their individuality. These are everyday experiences that make a person feel safe in bringing their unique, authentic self to work. We unleash their full potential. It goes even deeper:
​
Belonging means appreciating the various components of an employee's identity and realities of life, such as age, social background, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality or DisAbility.
"Diversity is being invited to the party, Inclusion is being asked to dance and Belonging is dancing like nobody’s watching, because that’s how free you feel to be yourself."

Disrupting bias by moving from awareness to action!
In anti-bias and diversity trainings, ConnectEd Beyond Bias offers an effective combination of an anti-bias approach, nonviolent communication and sensitization for non-discriminatory language.
​
This combination makes it possible for participants to become aware of prejudices on both cognitive and linguistic levels, to question them, actively unlearn them and act in new ways.
In anti-bias and diversity training we inspire each other and create space to contribute our unique experiences to sensitize ourselves individually. The aim is to empower each other to develop from where we are as individuals.
This is the basis for a culture in which all people are valued, feel like they belong and are motivated to contribute their full potential.

We are all part of the change and we all share in the responsibility: together we can change the world, with a new language!
Diversity-sensitive language has the potential to create a more just world. We should strive for more unity and connectedness, and move beyond discrimination and stereotypes. Embracing this language is key, as change begins in our thoughts and manifests through our words.
​
ConnectEd Beyond Bias can review your online and offline texts, presentation decks, branded images and other media to assess, whether they are sensitive to diversity in image, word and writing. We help ensure content is engaging and appropriate for all people, without excluding anyone.
​
Create internal and external communications that appreciates everyone!

I'm Alina Wagner (she/her), founder of ConnectEd Beyond Bias.
​
I am a political scientist (M.A., Otto-Suhr-Institut, Freie Universität Berlin), diversity and anti-bias trainer (A world of difference), systemic personal & business coach (Coaching Academy Berlin) and trained in non-violent communication. Bringing connectedness beyond biases into the world is my life's work.
​
I believe in a world where all people are free and equal, have a voice, are heard, seen and respected, live and contribute to their full potential - not just a select few.
​
At ConnectEd Beyond Bias, I accompany organizations worldwide in a cultural change to bias-FREE and COHESIVE teams. I believe that change starts from within, and that the basis of successful organizations lies in a corporate culture. This must be a culture where people feel valued and in which everyone can contribute their full unique potential.
In addition to ConnectEd Beyond Bias, I support and develop projects, that bring about an individual and collective shift in consciousness towards more connectedness, justice, unity and compassion, such as The ConnectEd and Changemaker Communications.
