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.

Reviews
Professional Business Communication training
This class is 3 hours but it didn’t feel like it. It helped that the class is interactive and each person gets a chance to speak at one time or another. Martin did a great job keeping us engaged. I like the way he explained the topics and I genuinenly walked away with some great pointers regarding communication styles.
Martin was a great trainer!
He made the session interesting and engaging, and gave some really helpful tips for working effectively! Definitely one of the best trainers I’ve come across in sessions like this – would recommend.

Martin is a really friendly instructor whose enthusiasm came through even in a virtual training session. He aimed to create rapport among the attendees which I really appreciated. It was great meeting him!
