Day 1: Interactive Session on - The Unuttered, and the Unaware: Unconscious Biases

The Unuttered, and the Unaware: Unconscious Biases

Are you judging people so quickly?  

“Bias is a natural byproduct of the way our brains work” – Jennifer Eberhardt.  

Probably everyone would have heard about the word “bias” – inclination towards someone or something.   

Every day we are bombarded with information overflow. Somewhere it’s stored in the brain. Our brains are designed in a way to consider the prior experiences (both good and bad) and to act or decide on the current situations.   

What are the negative aspects this biasing could bring? How does this biasing is affecting Testers and the Test Leads? How does it affect the hiring process? How does it affect your teams and the people around you? Seems interesting right. Let’s explore a few biases together. Learning more about it helps to defeat it and helps to build diversity and inclusion into your personal and professional life.   

We can learn to stop being judgemental and make this world a better place for everyone. 

 

Key takeaways: 

  • Learning about biases, types of biases, and how it impacts people and business 
  • Gaining a greater sense of self-awareness about Unconscious biases, and improving the ability to make conscious choices 
  • Steps/actions to new behaviors that positively impact and to keep a check on it
