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.
