Challenge Your Assumptions
So much of success at work depends on being able to connect to others and build trust. Yet often we unknowingly put barriers in the way. This is often down to the biases we all have about people.
Unconscious bias isn’t about prejudice or bigotry, it’s a necessary function of the human brain. Everyone has unconscious biases because our brains need shortcuts to help them deal with the sheer volume of information they are faced with at each moment.
The trouble is, those biases can lead to faulty thinking, poor decisions and damaged relationships. By getting a better understanding of the way biases work in our brains, we can reprogram ourselves to be more effective thinkers.
This interactive session is full of practical guidance to improve decision-making and interpersonal skills. The course will challenge the way you see the world around you and allow you to have greater influence.
