Really patronising
I found the metaphors (drawers and river) to be weak and the reference to ‘some studies’ was rather dumbed down (could links to the actual studies have been provided?). The categories of bias was interesting and valuable, but that was 2 minutes in the middle of The session. I found the examples were actually trying to elicit reactions to biases I wouldn’t otherwise have had (perhaps that’s because I’m a linguist and therefore spent most of the time trying to identify objective dialect or language features rather than making assumptions about peoples’ jobs). Fundamentally, the point about making decisions about the present based on the past is true of ALL decisions and we cannot make decisions without emotion and memory, and failure to use these vital faculties also hampers our capacity to function in a business context. The message of ACT is valid but could have been communicated in 5 minutes rather than 30 and wasn’t in any way new to me as that is a process I engage in sufficiently frequently that it is now a habit.
Very clear, helpful and engaging.
A nice accessible introduction with a good level of depth and detail. Interesting and well put together.

Very interesting and thought provoking
This course definitely encouraged me to look at my own values and behaviours and has inspired me to regularly reflect on my own practice.
Eye opening
Loved the video part of the course where I listened to the voices of people. I imagined all of them to look different than they actually did. Really makes you see how biased you actually are without relalising it.
do not agree
If it is unconscious bias how can you retrain that? Its like trying to learn not to breath, its instinct. A person should be judged by the content of their character. A man who judges someone by the colour of their of their skin doesn't deserve to called one.
Allowed me to reflect
The questions on the course allowed me to reflect on and challenge my own personal unconscious bias and it was great to come away with a commitment.
IT WILL REFRESH OUR MINDSET
IT ALWAYS HAVE IDEA WHEN DOING THIS
