Guest Speaker: Ms Bron Williams: 6th April 2021
 
 
Title: Unconscious Bias: Finding Your Bias Baseline
 
Working with asylum seekers on the Pacific island of Nauru shook Bron Williams – then a Salvation Army Minister– to the core. With an inherent belief she did not carry personal bias, the alternately confronting and rich experiences created an incredible level of awareness of the significant impact individual and corporate stories have on how we perceive the world. 
Realising her own unconscious bias, which lay latent through growing up in a largely white Australia, Bron fused the insights from Nauru with her diverse career in education and not-for-profit to build an innate capacity to see beneath the surface to the behaviours we see, accept and often rally against every day. 
Bron is determined to make bias conscious in the corporate environment, to build awareness that we are a result of our environment, and better served making those biases conscious, and developing targeted strategies to drive successful growth and change.
