Unconscious Bias - Clearing the Fog

Overview

Like an iceberg, nearly all of our brain activity happens unconsciously, under the surface. It helps us navigate the complexities of the world with splitsecond decisions and cognitive shortcuts. But sometimes these shortcuts also lead to obscured views of others and ‘unconscious biases’.

In this course, we'll uncover different types of unconscious biases, see how they impact individuals and workplaces, and discover strategies to mitigate these impacts.

So that we can all move through the fog together and find a clear path forward to a fairer, more inclusive future.

Learning Objectives
