Pull up a chair and pour yourself something good — it’s time for another round of Drinks After Work! This time, we’re talking all about:
How cognitive biases sneak into the way we design learning
Why “expert syndrome” (aka Dunning-Kruger) can ruin credibility
The hidden effects of the halo, horn, and affinity biases on planning and hiring
False consensus and confirmation bias — and what they mean for team decision-making
In this episode, Shannon and Deborah mix laughs with real talk as they unpack the ways bias shapes our work without us even realizing it. From LinkedIn bait-and-switch posts to echo chambers in the office, they connect everyday frustrations back to the subtle biases influencing how we design, teach, and lead.
So sip, swig, or chug — and get ready to:
Spot the biases that may be creeping into your own L&D practice
Rethink how you build learner personas and team dynamics
Bring contrarian voices into the room (and see why you need them)
Reflect on when bias holds you back — and when it might be working in your favor
Because it wouldn’t be Drinks After Work without the drinks, here are the FAB picks:
Deborah: Romance Red Wine — courtesy of her new wine club subscription, keeping it simple but bougie.
Shannon: A Paloma — tequila, grapefruit, and soda for a refreshing twist on summer sipping.
