Virtual or In-Person Unconscious Bias Training
Our unconscious bias training will help you and your people understand what unconscious bias is and how it can impact your everyday work and performance.
An unconscious bias is a preconception or prejudice which we are not consciously aware of. Unconscious means we are not aware of it. Bias means the preconception or prejudice.
A conscious bias is a bias you are aware of, so for example, in an interviewing situation we might feel that a man of between 20 – 35 years of age is best suited to a particular role. This means we are consciously biased towards applicants who are male of the age 20 – 35.
This training helps in a number of ways; firstly you will get a better understanding of what unconscious bias is and how it occurs in every day work life. Secondly you will see how unconscious bias impacts everyone no matter what their organisation or role.
Most importantly you will learn how to explore your own unconscious bias, and gain an awareness of where your unconscious biases lie. You will then look at what actions you can take to moderate your won unconscious biases in a conscious way. This last part is vital as it is good to know your own biases but better to start doing something about them. And it is possible to take action, but more on this later.

Engagement
I have really enjoyed the training given by Martin because it was interactive, dynamic, concise and he pointed out a number of essential issues on how to succeed in presenting virtually.
Excellent insights on Presenting with impact virtually
I had the pleasure to attend this training which was led by Martin Chapman.
Martin is a nice, very approachable and clear communicating trainer which gives good insights on the content of the training, welcoming everybody nicely and making sure people get evenly attention during the training.
Training has sufficient diversity when it comes to exercises and things to do in various ways which makes it interactive and nice as well.
It was a shame that not many people were sharing there camera’s more, even though it was encouraged by Martin.
There were many topics on the agenda and for me personally, the second half of the training rushed a bit too fast over many topics. I easily could have attended this meeting 30 minutes longer if that would mean less of a rush.
Overall, very satisfied and enough tools and techniques to improve skills on presenting with impact virtually.
Thanks Martin!
Excellent!! A++
