TrainingBriefs® Bias and the Brain

Understanding Stereotypes and Unconscious Bias

Uncover the power of awareness! Designed to confront and challenge unconscious bias, this course delves into the subtle yet significant ways our automatic thoughts shape workplace interactions, decision-making, and team dynamics. Through real-world scenarios and science-backed insights, you'll learn how biases (whether through microaggressions, stereotypes, or first-level thinking) impact organizations and relationships. Empower yourself to shift toward second-level thinking, foster respect, and build trust with micro-affirmations and inclusive communication strategies. Equip your team to understand bias, reduce its impact, and cultivate a workplace rooted in respect and collaboration.

Additional Information

Unconscious bias refers to a bias that we are unaware of, and which happens outside of our control. It is a bias that happens automatically and is triggered by our brain making quick decisions from data it gathers and then adding meaning to it. Bias is something we all have, and by itself, it is neither good nor bad. Bias are the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, perceptions and decisions.
