Dear WISTA Members, Associate Members & Friends,

We all suffer from unconscious bias. Neuroscientists believe that more than 99% of the decisions we make and the actions we take are outside of conscious awareness. Most of the time we operate on autopilot – relying on deep-in-the-brain biases, preferences and assumptions that operate largely automatically. While these mental shortcuts help us make decisions quickly and with little effort, they can have unintended consequences including irrational thinking and faulty decision making. When people are involved, bias can result in stereotyping, prejudice and a lack of diversity and a multitude of problems at work.

This interactive and engaging workshop will help participants not only become aware of their own unconscious biases but give them practical techniques for acting more consciously and making objective decisions.

This virtual event will take place at 4pm AEST on Thursday 20th June. This event is free for members and $15 for non-members. Please signup by 1) using the "register" button and 2) then also register via the Zoom link below by 13th June.
