Thanks to a neurological process called unconscious bias, we’re all impelled to prefer people who look like us, act like us and share our interests. Meanwhile, the world is becoming smaller, increasingly diverse and is also half female.

This juxtaposition is one of the big problems of modern commerce.

Unconscious bias causes us to make subconscious judgments and assessments of people and situations. It’s influenced by our background, cultural environment and personal experiences. Unfortunately, it also hinders an organisation’s competitive edge, as well as its development.

Organisations that recognise this and create ways to be consciously inclusive thrive, while those which remain stuck in limiting patterns of behaviour miss out on new ideas and opportunities.

The first step to true diversity is inclusion and understanding how unconscious bias can impact this. This workshop will help your people and teams develop strategies to recognise biases in the way we work and the processes we create.

Encouraging everyone to take responsibility for inclusion.

It was an extremely interesting session. Learning in a fun environment is a much better way to interact with others. It got people feeling at ease and open up and discuss and people were more honest than usual. It was also a good way to remember new things learnt.

It was good to see lawyers actively engaged in the session and challenging their way of thinking. This course is relevant and would be beneficial to every role within the firm.
Burgess Salmon LLP

In the modern commercial landscape, the disruptor is king and fundamental change can happen in any sector at any time. Touch screens, Uber and austerity are just a few examples of new developments that have had huge impacts on the organisations affected by them. And that impact is not always good – you only need to look at Blackberry, London black cabs and local authority budgets to see what can happen.

Problems come in many shapes and sizes; expansion, contraction, lack of budgets and resources, new competition, personnel challenges, mergers, acquisitions and transformation. All organisations face them eventually, and to cope and conquer they need their people to be innovative and creative problem-solvers. Unfortunately, these are frequently cited as key skills lacking in today’s workplaces.

Delivered in a dynamic, interactive style by experts in positive psychology and the neuroscience of learning.

The facilitator was great, broke down barriers and ensured everyone got involved with the very high energy levels of the presentation, successfully managed to bring some quite reserved people out of their comfort zones.
Natwest
It was the best session I’ve ever attended. The interactive aspects and exercise to create a product to make us think outside the box were brilliant and I could see how I could use them back in work.
RBS

Our industry-leading workshop aims to address this deficit and give delegates a ground-breaking perspective. It looks at humour as a creative thinking style and investigates how neoteny - the mental agility and playfulness of childhood and its relationship to imagination and innovation - is essential for problem solving.

Fear of public speaking can stall careers while confidence and self-belief boosts them. The ability to connect with people and build rapport, and the art of communicating effectively in challenging situations are repeatedly cited by employees as essential skills for all businesses. Fluffed lines, flat jokes and nervous delivery do not inspire confidence and have lost deals and even jobs.

Master the art of presentation on the other hand and you inspire, engage, motivate and leave a lasting impression.

Our Presentation Skills workshops are delivered by expert trainers who have experience as award-winning comedians, international motivational speakers and business consultants

SPOT ON. Presenter was very engaging. Various fun methods and techniques were used for presenting and was interesting learning more about everyone’s unique style of delivery.
Thembi Watt, Senior HR Manager, Public Health England
Best training course ever attended – No exaggeration. Learning about the science behind things was awesome – like how smiling releases serotonin. It was really great breaking into smaller groups each time to discuss things and then discussing back with the whole group.
Mandeep Sandhu, Ofgem, Learning and Development Officer

Comedians are masters at presenting and public speaking, which is why Laughology provides the most effective presentation training in the business.

The cognitive skills used by comedians to think quickly and creatively and communicate on a high level are transferable to all walks of life. We use them, along with our years of experience in some of the most challenging environments imaginable (comedy clubs), to devise tangible techniques that will turn you into an effective communicator.
