Virtual or In-Person Unconscious Bias Training
Our unconscious bias training equips your team to actively recognise and challenge the hidden prejudices that unconsciously influence everyday decisions and workplace behaviour. By addressing these biases head-on, you’ll improve team performance, foster greater inclusivity, and build stronger professional relationships
Understanding the nature of unconscious bias
Unconscious bias quietly shapes our decisions, even when we don’t realise it. Whether during hiring, promotions, or day-to-day interactions, these mental shortcuts can easily impact fairness and objectivity. That’s why our unconscious bias training focuses on practical tools to help participants identify, understand, and disrupt biased thinking
What you'll learn in our unconscious bias training
This training follows a proven, step-by-step approach:
- First, you’ll explore how unconscious bias appears in professional settings.
- Then, you’ll examine its ripple effects—across industries, departments, and teams.
- Most importantly, you’ll uncover your own biases and adopt actionable strategies to challenge them.
By the end, you’ll walk away with techniques to apply immediately—ensuring that conscious, fair, and inclusive choices become the norm.
Why reducing unconscious bias matters
Tackling unconscious bias is not just helpful—it’s necessary for building a modern, inclusive organisation. Although awareness is crucial, true transformation begins when individuals reshape their thinking and behaviour. Our expert-led unconscious bias training gives your team the skills, knowledge, and confidence to create lasting change

Reviews
A truly inclusive, insightful, and empowering training
I recently attended the Working Effectively at Clifford Chance training session and found it to be an incredibly valuable and uplifting experience. One of the standout aspects was the smaller group size, which created a more inclusive environment. Everyone had the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and genuinely included in the discussions.
The session encouraged open dialogue, and participants were free to express their views and share personal experiences without hesitation. This openness was largely thanks to Martin, who facilitated the session with warmth, empathy, and professionalism. Martin fostered a safe and supportive space where people felt comfortable being honest and reflective, which made the session not only informative but also deeply engaging.
Overall, the training was a brilliant example of how thoughtful facilitation and a well-structured format can empower individuals to connect, learn, and grow together. Highly recommended!
Five-star training!
I attended Martin’s session on working effectively in the workplace and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people he is training- he was very interactive throughout, delivered super helpful takeaways (especially relevant in professional settings) and also extended candid advice on how to keep up with an incredibly fast-paced and often times challenging career environment. I highly, highly recommend Martin’s sessions if you have the opportunity to attend them, I am confident you will leave the room with more wisdom.
Bespoke Soft Skills Training for Shipboard Leadership
The Bespoke Soft Skills Training for Shipboard Leadership was very well received. Participants found the sessions engaging, practical, and highly beneficial, with appreciation expressed for the instructor’s time, travel, and expertise.
The interactive discussions and exercises were effective in applying leadership and communication concepts to real shipboard situations. Several attendees noted they could use the material to address challenges with difficult crew members.
Overall, this training was viewed as excellent, relevant, and valuable in enhancing leadership effectiveness and promoting stronger communication across the fleet.
Presenting with Impact Virtually
I recently attended the “Presenting with Impact Virtually” training workshop led by Martin Chapman, and it was a thoroughly engaging and practical experience. Martin’s delivery was professional yet friendly, making the virtual format feel interactive and enjoyable. The session was well-structured, with clear slides and practical examples. I highly recommend his training services for anyone looking to improve their presentation skills in a virtual setting.
Comprehensive and Engaging Training
I recently attended Martin’s ‘Working Effectively’ and ‘Professional Business Communication’ online training sessions and both were excellent. Martin is very engaging and ensures that participants all contribute to discussion. The sessions were very useful, drawing on real anecdotes and scenarios relevant to our level of work. I found both training sessions impactful and will carry the lessons learned into my work. Thanks Martin!
