Course Outline:

We all have unconscious biases.  It’s just part of our human nature, a necessary survival mechanism.  The challenge comes when we are not aware of the impact it can have on our professional and personal effectiveness.  The key to effective and open decision making is developing our capacity to identify invisible assumptions and patterns of thinking.  In this interactive workshop you will explore how our assumptions impact choices around communication, team work, innovation, human resources, inclusion and management.

Unconscious Bias impacts heavily on conflict and dispute resolution.  Mediators can learn how their own private unconscious biases can influence their mediation practice and how to handle the impact of bias on the parties.

This workshop provides a forum to allow participants to explore:

  • What is unconscious bias?
  • Why is it so important and useful?
  • The effects of unconscious bias?
  • How does it impact conflict and the mediation of disputes?
  • How does it manifest itself in the workplace?
  • How to counteract its negative properties?

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

  • Be able to describe unconscious bias and its effects;
  • Recognise when it is happening;
  • Recognise some of their own biases;
  • Be able to identify and implement a range of means of addressing unconscious bias;
  • Have identified an action plan to address unconscious bias when it occurs during the mediation process.
