Unconscious Bias
This course will benefit all those who interact daily with people at all levels, who wish to improve their communication and leadership skills.
Whilst it is seldom intentional, everyone at some point has demonstrated unconscious bias which has resulted in a personal interaction not quite going the way they would have liked.
It happens more than we would like to imagine, where we may not have a conscious bias towards or indeed away from something or someone, but we jump to conclusions or behave in a certain way that may be at odds with our conscious thoughts.
This can lead to misunderstandings and prejudices that we are not aware of.
This programme will seek to address this concept in more detail and help to make us more aware of how slipping towards an unconscious bias can be avoided, which in turn will help to improve relationships and interactions with others.
