Bias isn’t always loud or malicious — sometimes, it’s in the quiet, everyday moments. Who gets more airtime in meetings. Who’s seen as “high potential.” Who’s left off the invite list.

In this episode of Coach Me!, Catherine and Tanu unpack the sneaky ways unconscious bias shapes decisions at work — often without us even realizing it — and why it’s not just a moral issue, but a business one. With companies pulling back DEI efforts, the truth is clear: bias costs money, innovation, and talent.

We explore:

✅ The most common and damaging biases at work, from Prototype Bias to Confirmation Bias, Likeability Bias, and more

✅ Real-life examples of how bias shows up in meetings, hiring, and performance reviews

✅ A rapid-fire “bias lightning round” covering everything from Proximity Bias to Recency Bias

✅ Why bias-checking is not about perfection but awareness and course-correction

✅ A simple 3-step check-in to help you make fairer, smarter people decisions

Whether you lead a team, are building your career, or just want to sharpen your self-awareness, this episode will help you catch the shortcuts your brain takes — and choose better.
