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
Excellent!! A++
I sincerely enjoyed the training I took with Martin on presenting virtually. Highly recommend!
Excellent and engaging session
Martin’s session on “presenting with impact virtually” was extremely well structured and engaging, and appears to have something for everyone irrespective of where they are on their presentation journey!
Interactive workshop on assertiveness
The workshop was well structured, interactive and informing. Especially helpful when discussing how your circadian rhythm impacts our energy levels and organising your work load around that.
Clifford Chance Professional Business Communication training with Martin Chapman
Martin delivered a very interactive and fun professional business communication session. It was very interesting and it helped me to gain new skills in communication.
Martin does it again - absolutely great workshop on delegation skills.
I attended Martin Chapman’s 1.5 hour workshop on delegation skills on 6.6.2024. He does not fail to impress. Martin’s workshops are methodical, easy to understand, very team-focused (as I was attending with some of my colleagues), and encouraging.
