The Lens
AI Companion -- Unconscious Bias at Work

Everyone has unconscious bias. Most people stop there. The Lens goes further -- helping you identify how bias operates in hiring, performance reviews, promotions, and daily interactions, and giving you concrete tools to interrupt it before it produces another unfair outcome.

  • How stereotypes produce unconscious bias, micro-inequities, and microaggressions
  • Affinity bias, halo effect, attribution bias, and other patterns that cost organizations
  • Interrupting bias in hiring, evaluations, and promotion decisions
  • Shifting Standards: why the same behavior receives different evaluations across identity groups
  • What 'culture fit' actually measures and how to create fairer equivalents
  • Building a bias-aware team culture without performative diversity theater
  • Permanent access -- use it as long as you need it

How To Be The Adult In The Room — DKA Toolkit

TA
Welcome. I am The Adult.

Most people come to leadership coaching and say things like: "I can't get resources," "My team doesn't listen," "My boss dismisses me." What they are really saying is: I am not being taken seriously. And the reason is almost always the same thing: the ego state they are communicating from.

This companion is built on Duane Andrews' Transactional Analysis framework. We will work through the three ego states — Parent, Adult, Child — identify which one you default to under pressure, and build your capacity to stay in the Adult state: grounded, assertive, accountable, and difficult to dismiss.

No one makes you angry. No one triggers you. You choose your response. That is what it means to be Response-Able. Let's build that skill.
