What our diverse clients are saying…

We interviewed a handful of D&I consultants. Most had their ideas of what we needed.  I didn’t even know what we needed, so how could they? Everyone at Percipio has listened to our thoughts and ideas without judgment, treated our work with respect, and helped us build a sustainable roadmap around Diversity and Inclusion.  While the work is not finished, nor will it ever be, Matthew and his team have helped our team strengthen workplace relationships and leverage diversity into true inclusion, equity, and belonging.

Kyle Hudson, CEO, KPD Insurance

The preparation with me and with the team was very effective. It helped me be better prepared for it, and helped me focus on what are we going to do with this and benefit from this DEIB investment. How can we utilize this to better the organization? The pre-work is what really made the difference. You go into it thinking it will be about one thing but it was more than just unconscious bias, it was about getting to know each other better. I would absolutely recommend organizations that are really considering delving into this work take a moment and speak to Matthew.

Michael Janis , CEO, SF Market

Partnering with Matthew to introduce Unconscious Bias to our executive team was a wonderful step in our company’s journey to becoming a better organization. He delivered the material in a way that helped us really look at ourselves while we looked at the biases that impact our daily actions – and our lives. He also managed to make what could feel like “tricky” conversations both eye-opening and positive. We are grateful for his time and attention.

Amy Steadman, SVP People Operations, ABD Insurance and Financial Services

Congratulations on a fantastic workshop! I’ve been a member of the Bar Association of San Francisco for years and this was the most enthusiastic feedback I’ve seen from an audience for a CLE!

The Percipio Company is masterful at making people feel comfortable enough to ask the hard questions and just as uncomfortable enough to know that the answers are going to cause them to re-think their own capabilities and look to how they can change and grow.
Kirsti Tcherkoyan, CEO, Options4Growth

Matthew Cahill is a strategic and passionate Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) leader who is committed to helping individuals and organizations thrive. He has facilitated several impactful workshops and dialogs for the Humane Society of the United States philanthropy department’s major gifts team.

He most recently collaborated with us to develop and present a half-day session for a thirty-person philanthropy team retreat that included members of the department’s leadership as well as colleagues from the EU. Matthew brings calm to interactions that are emotionally charged, leaving participants with insight and a desire to learn more. I highly recommend Matthew and his team of trusted leaders and look forward to our continued collaboration.

Tracey Thurston, Regional Director, Humane Society USA

In our partnership with the Percipio Company, we valued the chance to bridge connections among our global workforce of nearly 300. Guided by Matthew and his team, the focus groups and learning series laid essential groundwork for belonging. They also emphasized the importance of fostering equitable and inclusive practices and opportunities throughout our organization. Empowered by the experience, we have started implementing the shared principles into our organizational culture, and are already witnessing positive results.

LaCheka Phillips, Director of Equity, Inclusion, Diversity and Culture, TechSoup

“There’s no way our ‘Elimination of Bias’ goals can be achieved without first understanding the realities of our conditioned brains, and Matt & Sejal present this critical Implicit Bias material in an engaging fashion. I recommend their ‘If You Have a Brain, You Have Bias’ workshop to all law firms, or any other company that truly cares about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.”

How Bias Can Impact Your Bottom Line 

Every day, you are allowed to make small decisions that often have large consequences. We all have biases and mindsets that can be unconscious and change our opinions without us knowing—causing us to act out prejudices that we’re unaware of. These issues can often stem into bigger issues when they go unchecked. Such behaviors can lead to a lack of diversity in the workplace, among other problems, and ultimately harm your company or employees. It is the biases in our daily lives that can affect how we view ourselves and others. 

As humans, we are not perfect, and so biases and unconscious mechanisms are natural to our brains. There is the chance that if you have a brain you have bias, and you will ―make mistakes. However, even when you do things right in your life, there will be a time when you will make some mistakes.

There is a way of managing unconscious bias because this isn’t an inevitable outcome. There are ways we can better ourselves by overcoming unconscious bias in the workplace through the help of professional management consulting firms to make better decisions in our lives.

We Can Help You Manage Unconscious Biases

By starting with our tests and questionnaires, we can allow you to uncover your biases for yourself and in your life. Once you are aware of the issues at hand you can begin to unravel them and work on yourself. 

However, we understand that it takes more than individual growth to initiate change in the workplace. You have to start at the core of the issues and rebuild mindsets individually and as a whole. Once you begin to pinpoint where gaps exist in terms of your company’s diversity and inclusion efforts and, in the end, managing unconscious bias and overcoming unconscious bias in the workplace.

Once you know the areas where your company needs to improve, it’s time to put a plan for managing unconscious bias to belonging assessment. To make sure that you’re making headway on diversity, we can help your team develop a diversity action and an executive business coaching plan that takes into account which identifications and traits will be prioritized and how leaders in your organization can encourage employees of every identity to speak up about issues related to their identity.
