Centurions | Actives - Issues Up Close: Cereal is Soup

Description

This event is open to Centurions Actives only.

A civil discourse workshop on perception, bias, and the art of listening. Centurions kicked off the year talking about civil discourse and now we’re taking it a step further. This IUC dives into how we see, hear, and respond to the world around us, through a series of interactive exercises designed to surface bias, challenge assumptions, and build stronger communication habits. From the infamous “Is the dress blue or gold?” to the statement “Cereal is soup,” we’ll explore how perception and preconceptions shape our gut reactions, even when the topic seems trivial. This isn’t about debate, it’s about awareness. You'll leave with unexpected insights, and practical takeaways for staying present, neutral, and open-minded in conversation. Whether you're navigating boardrooms, neighborhoods, or dinner tables, this session will give you tools to lead with curiosity over conviction. Agenda: 8-8:30 a.m. - Breakfast and networking 8:30-9:30 - Programming 9:30-10 a.m. - Networking
