Myths & Stereotypes 
This presentation helps leaders to identify common myths and stereotypes so they may avoid using them or falling into the stereotypical roles based on just one of their many characteristics.  Many leaders adopt stereotypes as social norms since they must identify with a large membership and thus enforce myths and stereotypes rather than debunk them.  They also make the mistake of categorizing group members under common stereotypes and cultural myths.  Overall, the presentation teaches participants to value individuals and to steer clear of lumping a person into a group where everyone is, for example, similar in appearance.
 
Presenters:  Rodrick Moore and Melissia Brannen
