### The not so subtle effect of unconscious bias on decision skills

While I was sitting at the bus stop the other day, an elderly lady wearing a black head scarf sat down beside me.

### How does the world see you? And who does Google say you are?

I have something uncomfortable to confess.

My website feels very 'white', doesn’t it? And no, I’m not talking about the abundance of white space around the text.

I mean, you know … 'White'.

### Are morals, ethics, and business bad bedfellows?

> Your customers may have already thought about this —and expect you have too

A few years ago I attended a two-day conference for business owners discussing the importance of valuing ethics and purpose in business ahead of just pure commercial gain.

Things were going great until someone stood up and asked, ‘that question…’

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.

### The power of dissent is in the process, not the decision

Your ability to voice disagreement with a colleague in business is a critical process many usually avoid - until a decision hits the fan.

In the real world, disagreeing openly with others – for most people – is uncomfortable and difficult - that probably explains why it’s rare.
