In this insightful podcast episode, host Tarryn interviews Bron Williams, an expert in bias awareness and a consultant who works with organisations to address bias issues. The conversation delves into the intricacies of biases, exploring their roots in fast and slow thinking processes. Bron shares her observations on biases becoming more apparent during times of crisis, drawing connections to events like the 2020 pandemic and societal shifts. 

The discussion highlights the importance of recognising biases as a universal human experience rather than a specific group's problem. Bron discusses her work with various organizations, emphasising the need for ongoing training to address biases effectively. The episode concludes with a powerful metaphor, encouraging listeners to question their own "water" and engage in courageous conversations to bridge the gap between instinctive biases and rational thought processes.

• Crisis Impact on Biases: The 2020 events, including the Black Lives Matter movement and the Capitol riot, are discussed as manifestations of biases heightened during crisis periods
• Challenges and Progress in Diversity: The landscape is changing with increased diversity representation in advertising, television, and various industries, but challenges persist, especially in addressing white privilege.

• Certification Program: Bron introduces her upcoming certification program, aiming to empower organisations with ongoing training and the ability to address biases internally.

• Courageous Conversations: Encouraging open discussions and asking questions is emphasised as a key strategy in challenging biases and fostering understanding.
• Upcoming Book: Bron provides a glimpse into her forthcoming book titled "What's Your Water?" as an introduction to bias exploration.
• Closing Metaphor: The metaphor of merging the parallel worlds of biases and rational thought concludes the episode, prompting listeners to contemplate their own biases and engage in continuous self-awareness.
