Brain Hacking Diversity
Fostering a culture of inclusivity, self-awareness and empathy
Talk to Feel GoodPolitics, it divides and unites us. It also shows us how our unconscious biases or “mind bugs” form our opinions. As much as we would like to think that we are open-minded and rational, the simple truth is that no one is entirely immune to the mind bugs that creep into our thoughts. These bugs plant preconceived notions that influence the way we think and interact. We can create more diverse, connected workplaces by bringing these into conscious awareness and developing methods to regulate them.
Creating an inclusive working culture free of implicit bias will allow you to feel more comfortable collaborating with people of different backgrounds. You will be empowered to harness the learning potential presented by diverse individuals, allowing for faster problem-solving, decision-making and innovation in teams. — Harvard Business Review, 2017.
In the workplace, biases can arise just about anywhere, from performance reviews, promotions, team working and working with clients. They can be a significant barrier to cultivating diverse talent and leveraging unique perspectives. From a personal standpoint, biases can affect business objectives and unconsciously influence our interactions with co-workers, potentially fostering negativity, conflict, or a lack of connectedness. Diversity thrives when awareness increases.
In our session, we will provide you with tools to recognise unconscious biases and prevent them from negatively influencing your perception of others. Doing so will create an opportunity for more meaningful social interactions and a more connected, inclusive work environment. Tame your mind bugs and hack your way to diversity.
Your people will learn:
- Understanding how cognitive biases work; why we have them, the evolutionary prescriptive, the mechanisms, and their impact on our lives and in the workplace
- Learn how to identify cognitive biases and errors in perception
- Practice self-reflection and gain self-awareness
- Build action plans to upgrade mental models, and remain emotionally stable when dealing with difficult social interactions at work

TRUSTED AND EVOLVED BY 100’S OF EMPLOYEES
“I liked the flow of the session and the content the speaker covered, it really made me think about the way I have been feeling while working from home and that I haven’t been alone in that and the speaker sharing ways to deal with things for both individual and for your team.” The National Lottery Community Fund
“This is one of the best webinar’s on returning to work I’ve heard and certainly made me think about the different types of people and their reactions. The session was really informative. The speaker was excellent.” Cushman & Wakefield
“Really well run session on what can be a very challenging topic to talk about. It gave people the opportunity to share if they wanted to, but without any pressure to do so if they don’t want to. I personally learned a lot which is helpful from a personal and a leadership perspective. Thanks for running this session, it was really insightful and valuable.” British Business Bank
“Just the right balance of “theory” and application, with useful real life examples. I loved that there were so many practical takeaways from the session which I can use to make a difference. Refreshing to hear the benefits of making small changes rather than aiming for wholesale transformation! Good to listen to a knowledgeable, experienced and engaging speaker – thank you!” Danone
“I think the session delivered the same key messages in multiple ways which is quite a powerful and useful technique. It explored stressors, spotting triggers and the impact on us, how to recognise these and deal with more effectively, protecting ourselves from burnout.” The National Lottery Community Fund
“The session was amazing and I think it would be a great required course for employees in January. We’re all dealing with a lot and her perspective on how personality types respond to the past 2 years was so insightful. I think our return to office would be smoother if all employees were required to hear this presentation and gain some perspective that the same employee that left in March 2019 is not the same employee returning in 2022.” BNY Mellon
“89% of leaders who engaged in a 6-month Feel Good training programme reported that they were able to use the programme to become better leaders, with 84% building greater trust with their colleagues.” Sopra Steria
“500% increase to sign-ups to Johnson Matthey’s wellbeing initiative with Feel Good Engagement.” Johnson Matthey
“The workshop was 100% packed with useful information. […] I came out of it with not only inspiration, but defined action points for myself. Amazing. Thank you so much!” BNY Mellon
“As always, we’ve loved working with you and turning to you to embrace our crazy ideas with top level speakers and presenters!” Oracle
“I thought it was a very good opportunity to reflect on wellbeing at work. Felt supported by peers by attending this course. Very useful and informative. Nothing I would improve.” The National Lottery Community Fund
