Busting bias: what works and what doesn't

Ever caught yourself making a snap judgment about someone without even realizing it? This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives into the murky waters of unconscious bias.

The conversation kicks off with a look at the origins of unconscious bias and how it subtly influences our daily interactions.

You’ll hear about the Implicit Association Test, a tool designed to measure these hidden biases, but also learn about its limitations. While many workplaces turn to diversity training to tackle bias, the episode highlights that building trust might be a more effective long-term strategy. By the end, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on your own biases and take actionable steps towards reducing them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand their own prejudices and make meaningful changes.
