So today I was invited to give a talk to pupils at a school in Bromsgrove. Inspiring young minds to effect change today for the future.
What an amazing day. I was honoured to share the day with the police, paramedics, fire service and a charitable trust. Sharing life stories and asking open questions.
I began with an opening question about āunconscious biasā. You will hear from my short video below that they simply knocked it out of the park. I have faith in our future as this generation knew the answer. When I share this with Generation X it is always the same answer and it is clear that gender bias is engrained. I regularly get āOMG ....why did I not know that? Thatās terrible and so wrong!ā. When I share it with Millenials we open the door to a little less bias and a more inclusive response which is also wrong. And then today I shared the same statement with three Year 7 groups of boys and girls (age 11 and 12) and they knew the answer!
They then discovered neuroscience, cognitive overload, good and bad communication and why changing your brain waves can change your life.
