Changing hearts to change the world.

At NCBI Training we believe in changing hearts to change the world. We know the power of holding a safe space and leading with a positive spirit of hope and compassion.

In over 20 years, we’ve not once met someone who doesn’t have a powerful story to share. Through these stories we can dissolve guilt, address prejudice and learn who we really are.

  • A powerful one-day training experience through engaging activities and group tasks.
  • A toolkit of techniques to address discrimination, unjust behaviour and prejudice, and to become an ally.
  • A confidential, safe space with warm and welcoming first-time attendees.
  • Guidance from supportive and experienced facilitators.

08 • Shifting Attitudes

Can you navigate challenging conversations?

We regularly experience different perspectives and challenges. Are you able to address them outside of conflict? NCBI Shifting Attitudes teaches how to build and maintain authentic connections.

Shifting Attitudes addresses deeply held assumptions (shaped by culture, generation or beliefs) without breaking communication or creating division.

Shifting Attitudes is an interactive, 2-hour online workshop designed by NCBI Training to equip individuals, community leaders, and workplace professionals with practical tools to navigate complex dialogue safely and constructively.

Through structured exercises, guided self-reflection, and open discussion, this session provides a supportive space to explore the root causes of prejudice, recognise how subtle bias influences our interactions, and develop the skills needed to interrupt harmful behaviours effectively.

What you will gain

  • Practical Dialogue Skills: Learn proven techniques to handle sensitive topics without escalating tension or causing communication breakdown.
  • Self-Awareness & Insight: Gain a clearer understanding of your own lenses, assumptions, and how personal stories influence interactions.
  • Effective Intervention Strategies: Acquire practical tools to interrupt biased or exclusionary behaviour constructively.
  • A Safe & Confidential Space: Connect with warm, welcoming peers in a supportive environment guided by expert facilitators.
