When you look at the research on how organisations hire people, the pattern is clear: we tend to hire people who are similar to us. That decision is often made without any conscious thought, driven by cognitive biases we don't even know are operating. And hiring is just one example. The same invisible biases shape every decision you make.

In this webinar, Linda Ray explores the neuroscience of decision-making, starting with the prefrontal cortex and its role in goal setting, planning, and self-regulation. She reveals the staggering number of cognitive biases that influence our thinking, explains why both too much threat and too much reward can lead to poor decisions, and shares practical approaches for guarding against bias in yourself and your organisation.

In this webinar, you will:

Understand why the brain takes shortcuts in decision-making and how those shortcuts create predictable errors
Learn about the key cognitive biases that affect hiring, strategy, and everyday workplace decisions
Discover why high-stress environments and high-reward environments both degrade decision quality, for different neurological reasons
Walk away with practical strategies for improving decision-making by accounting for how the brain actually works
