Useless and patronising
This is an extremely patronising training, the woman presenting is very patronising and the language they use is very childish. As someone who is actively already challenging negative biases and embraces diversity it felt like it didn't give anything new and is more for someone totally unaware of biases, and who has a lot of them. It gave you no strategies to actually reduce bias and was extremely generic. Great training for employers who are looking to do a tick box exercise to say their team have been trained on 'unconscious bias'. Completely useless if you actually want a training that will lead to change in your workplace and amongst your team members. Do not waste your time.
Very Good
This course makes you think consciously about a person/situation before making a unconscious decision.

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 was
Very clear, helpful and engaging.
A nice accessible introduction with a good level of depth and detail. Interesting and well put together.
Interesting course.

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.
