Unconscious Bias

Every day every one of us is taking - or not taking - some action based on thoughts and beliefs that are driven by our unconscious thinking system. The result? Our decisions, relationships and perceptions of others are sometimes driven not by rational observation, but by inaccurate assumptions. 

Our unconscious thinking system is critical to our survival - it helps us to multitask, respond effectively when our safety is compromised and avoid information overload. However, unconscious processes are also prone to errors that can lead to flawed decision-making, significant bias and blinkered thinking. 

Learning outcomes 

This workshop will enable you to: 

  • Understand the difference between conscious and unconscious thinking systems. 

  • Identify ‘Red Flag’ language, body language, processes and scenarios that indicate that unconscious dynamics may be influencing behaviour, perceptions, assessments and/or decisions. 

  • Learn how to apply safeguards to minimise the impact of unconscious bias in the workplace.
