Cognitive Bias
30m: Activity
Solo: 10m
Think of a recent decision you made—big or small.
Write down:
What influenced your choice? (gut feeling, first info you heard, past experience, etc.)
Identify one possible bias (e.g., confirmation, anchoring, recency, status quo).
Ask yourself: What would challenge or disprove this decision?
Small Group: 10m
In pairs discuss your decision and identified bias:
How might that bias have shaped the outcome?
What would you do differently with that awareness?
Debrief: 10m
Be prepared to answer the following:
Where in your work or team is bias most likely to sneak in unnoticed?
What’s one habit or checkpoint you can build to spot bias before it drives the decision?
What is one key takeaway from this hour you can apply right now?
