Think about it in 3 steps, based on your level of control and influence:
1 - Start by reflecting on yourself: take a personal Inventory of yourself and your practices, and personal education.
2 - Then reflect on your work/your team: take a second inventory, this time of your work- what biases are built in there, what do you have the power to control.
3 - Finally reflect on your environment/industry/larger picture. Think about the larger systemic changes of the way you work and the way your company does business.
