Description
This course explores the impact of confirmation bias, the cognitive tendency to interpret and recall information in ways that affirm preexisting beliefs while ignoring contradictory evidence. Participants will learn how this bias can cloud judgment, obstruct objective decision-making, and distort reality. The course provides strategies to combat confirmation bias and foster a more balanced perspective.
In hands-on demonstrations, participants will practice techniques to strengthen critical thinking and emotional curiosity, key skills necessary for objective evaluation and learning. The course will introduce methods to challenge preconceptions and enhance the ability to approach situations with an open and evaluative mindset.
Key Concepts Covered:
- Mental Accounting
- Counting Bias
- Social Currency
- Moral Cleansing
- Present Bias
- Hyperbolic Discounting
- Optimistic Outcome Bias

While other executive coaches may use pre-set frameworks and prompts that are applied across clients, I take a personalized and tailored approach. Rather than simply providing operational processes or tactical guidance, I focus on helping clients understand and address their core personal drivers that directly impact their effectiveness and success. This deep level of understanding and support enables clients to overcome the unique challenges and obstacles they face, and unlock their full potential as leaders.
One of the things that sets me apart as an executive coach is my ability to hold clients accountable and challenge them in a constructive way. I don't shy away from difficult conversations or give in to pressure or manipulation. Instead, I help clients develop the self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills they need to build strong, effective relationships and achieve their goals.
As an executive coach, my passion is in driving deep and sustainable change with senior leaders at the individual, team, and organizational levels. I use evidence-based neuroscience to guide my approach, applying this knowledge to key areas such as interpersonal conflict, communication, and culture change.
I have extensive experience working with senior executives and startup founders in the US, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. My clients come from a diverse range of industries, including banking, tech, gaming, biotech, aerospace, and automotive.
I have successfully coached hundreds of individuals and teams from Fortune Global 500 firms and VC-backed startups, helping them to adopt a growth-mindset and create a feedback-rich learning culture.
