COURSE BENEFITS
This course will provide insight into your actions and others’ reactions, based on cutting edge findings from neuroscience. These insights will build confidence in the way you interrelate with others and how you make decisions in an increasingly complex, pluralistic world.
At the end of this course you will have a deeper understanding of why our brain plays with us and how, despite the competing interests within, we can use a team’s collective intelligence to reveal and neutralize unfriendly biases.
Who should attend
Depending on organizational needs, this course can be designed as advanced to bring your diversity and inclusion efforts to a more refined level. However, it can also be a starting point, or catalyst, to begin discussions around diversity in a non-threatening way.
Learning objectives
- Inform participants on the evolutionary reasons why we all have biases that interfere with creativity, innovation and wise decisions.
- Introduce participants to a simple model for understanding and assessing the behaviour of people and organizations regarding change, non-verbal signalling, short vs. long timelines, hierarchy, team dynamics, and performance management.
- Provide participants with techniques and practices for overriding biases to free up idea flow, improve decision making, and give morale a boost.
- Direct participants to resources for use with your teams to help inspire them to become bias aware themselves.
Methodology
Unconscious Bias: Understanding Our Brain’s Processes for Bias Control is an interactive workshop based on adult education principles and led by one of our experienced trainers. Participants will partake in hands-on activities and solve real-time issues.
