Unconscious Bias

The aim of the training is to help people uncover their unconscious biases in a meaningful and deeply personal way, within a psychologically safe space where all opinions, ideas and concerns are welcomed and respected. To use the power of education on the topic to empower people to improve their thought processes and make better decisions.

Storytelling

People want to know your story. It helps to build trust. Crucial for leaders to convey, for clients and customers to feel, and for team members to create. Research shows that we remember information 22 times more if it is conveyed to us with story as well as facts. Imagine the potential for your presentation / pitch / inspirational talk in terms of its impact to persuade, motivate, move people to action? 

Those who tell the stories rule the world

Innovation - through critical thinking

In a world of competing ‘facts’ and infinite information, it is imperative that we all hone our ability to assess the reliability and usefulness of information. Critical thinking is essential to Innovation because we must understand the assumptions, underlying biases and gaps in information that frame our ideas and shape our solutions. Then we can generate better ideas and design better solutions.

If you have always done it that way, it is probably wrong
