Unconscious bias isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a hidden force shaping decisions, team dynamics, and organizational performance. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the neuroscience behind how bias forms, how it hijacks decision-making, and how to interrupt it, both individually and collectively.

Using the latest findings from cognitive neuroscience and behavioral psychology, we’ll unpack how our brains create shortcuts that impact hiring, communication, collaboration, and trust. But this session goes far beyond theory.

Participants will walk away with practical, science-based tools to:
• Recognize and reduce bias in real time
• Create a psychologically safe environment for collaboration and innovation
• Improve communication by understanding the brain’s response to threat and reward
• Foster inclusive, high-performing team habits

This workshop is designed for intact teams, cross-functional groups, or departments seeking to foster stronger collaboration, make better decisions, and achieve higher engagement.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand the brain mechanisms that create and sustain bias
• Identify common team dynamics that activate bias and reduce psychological safety
• Apply brain-friendly strategies to build trust and collaboration
• Build a shared vocabulary around bias and behavior change
• Strengthen team resilience and communication

Experiential Exercises Include:
• Bias-in-Action Simulation: Teams analyze real-world scenarios to identify where bias shows up—and practice shifting behavior in real time.
• Neuroplasticity in Practice: A guided reflection and partner activity showing how even small changes in mindset and behavior can rewire team dynamics.
• Psychological Safety Mapping: Teams identify threat and reward cues in their environment and co-design rituals that support inclusion and engagement.

Unconscious bias silently shapes how we work, connect, and communicate. This interactive workshop helps employees understand the neuroscience of bias and equips them with practical tools to reduce it, build trust, and contribute to a more inclusive, collaborative team culture.
