Course Description

Our brains are amazing. They pilot our bodies throughout the day without us having to remember how to perform every action, execute every task, and express every idea. From birth, our brains take in and process information, both through practice and observation. Over time, we develop the ability to perform, understand, and navigate complex tasks in every area of our lives. This automaticity of actions and behaviors is also true of perceptions, interpretations, and decision-making. Unconscious bias falls into this category. This is how our brains have developed patterns of reacting based on the things we see and perceive.

In this program, we will break down bias and look more closely at how these automatic patterns of thinking are formed and impact the decisions we make day to day. We will discuss how this autopilot thinking drives the assumptions, beliefs, and attitudes that unconsciously influence our actions and decisions. We will walk through a process framework for identifying and then disrupting our autopilot thinking so that we can be more aware and intentional in our workplace interactions and decision-making. 

Learning Objectives: 


  • Identify how unconscious bias influences thinking and behavior 

  • Evaluate unconscious bias and its impact on individuals, groups, and teams 

  • Recognize the link between unconscious bias and inclusivity

Often described as “approachable” and “relatable” by her clients, she works with purpose and the intention of being engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to real-world situations. Jina draws from her unique background and mix of work experiences to offer examples and share insights designed to benefit everyone across the workplace ecosystem – executives, management, employees, and customers.
