Unconscious bias is one of the most common themes that comes up in my DEI work — and while I’ve recorded on this before, this longer session goes deeper. In this episode, I unpack what unconscious bias actually is, where it hides, and how it affects our decisions, workplaces, and relationships without us even realising it.
We explore:
Why “good intentions” aren’t enough
How bias shapes hiring, leadership, and everyday interactions
Practical tools to slow down automatic thinking
How to build habits that interrupt bias in real time
Why self-awareness is a lifelong practice, not a tick-box exercise
If you’re looking to build more equitable teams, strengthen your own awareness, or start better conversations, this episode gives you a grounded, real-world starting point.
While you’re here, take a look through my past episodes — there’s a full series of short, practical DEI conversations covering culture, inclusion, allyship, Te Tiriti, leadership and more.
