Very thorough
Enjoyed the course. Well done with a good mix of stimulants.
Very good
I really enjoyed this training; very clear and easy to understand. The presenter was excellent. I would be interested in learning more about how I can challenge my unconscious bias and encourage others to do the same.
Informative and thought provoking
This course highlighted a few areas of bias which I was unaware of, I assumed I would have known most of the information to be presented. It very much demonstrates how our biases influence our current thoughts and behaviours. It was well presented and I found it refreshing to view.
Poor overall
Poor format and poor training. iHasco always manages to miss the mark somehow.
Thought provoking
Really liked the exercise where we had to listen to voices to identify the assumptions we made about who the voice belonged to. The section where the presenter showed her tattoo was a nice touch and made the topic a bit less abstract. It was a different way of looking at the topic. Enjoyed it all! Thank you!
liked the course.
I feel that this course should be widely available to people, to be more aware of unconscious bias that we all have. It can help not just in the workplace but in the general community also.
Useless and patronising
This is an extremely patronising training, the woman presenting is very patronising and the language they use is very childish. As someone who is actively already challenging negative biases and embraces diversity it felt like it didn't give anything new and is more for someone totally unaware of biases, and who has a lot of them. It gave you no strategies to actually reduce bias and was extremely generic. Great training for employers who are looking to do a tick box exercise to say their team have been trained on 'unconscious bias'. Completely useless if you actually want a training that will lead to change in your workplace and amongst your team members. Do not waste your time.
Very Good
This course makes you think consciously about a person/situation before making a unconscious decision.

Really patronising
I found the metaphors (drawers and river) to be weak and the reference to ‘some studies’ was rather dumbed down (could links to the actual studies have been provided?). The categories of bias was interesting and valuable, but that was 2 minutes in the middle of The session. I found the examples were actually trying to elicit reactions to biases I wouldn’t otherwise have had (perhaps that’s because I’m a linguist and therefore spent most of the time trying to identify objective dialect or language features rather than making assumptions about peoples’ jobs). Fundamentally, the point about making decisions about the present based on the past is true of ALL decisions and we cannot make decisions without emotion and memory, and failure to use these vital faculties also hampers our capacity to function in a business context. The message of ACT is valid but could have been communicated in 5 minutes rather than 30 and wasn’t in any way new to me as that is a process I engage in sufficiently frequently that it is now a habit.
