Recognizing Bias & Microbehaviors

Empower your leaders to identify, address, and transform subtle acts of bias that erode trust, team morale, and inclusion.

 

Why It Matters

Microaggressions and unconscious bias often go unnoticed, but their impact is felt daily. Whether it’s a subtle exclusion, a biased comment, or a pattern of assumptions, these behaviors shape team dynamics, employee experience, and organizational culture.

At the Institute for Coaching Innovation, we teach leaders to recognize bias in real time, disrupt microbehaviors with integrity, and foster workplaces where all voices are respected.
