This Workshop Offers an Introduction to How Humans Operate with Unconscious Bias
Research on decision-making reveals that when individuals are highly aware of their decision-making process, they can see how non-determinant data influences their thinking. This awareness improves decision-making by giving people access to more choices to reach their intended outcomes.
Experiential learning is an integral component of the workshop and the participants learning experience. This session includes simulated experiences that transform participant behaviors through awareness. The experiential learning model builds insights by having participants do the actions in a training space that will reduce biases in decision-making. Participants have many opportunities to experience their unconscious bias and priming bias. Participants will take a firmly held assumption and deconstruct it using deductive reasoning.
