Inclusion Insights Video Series

Burst-Learning at its Best

The Inclusion Insights video series, created by Dr. Steve Robbins, is a thought-provoking and engaging collection of short, burst-learning videos (each 2 to 3 minutes long) designed to explore the science of human behavior in the context of inclusion and belonging. Using compelling stories, humor, and real-world examples, Dr. Robbins unpacks key psychological and neuroscience concepts—such as cognitive bias, social pain, and confirmation bias—that influence how we perceive and interact with others.

Each video challenges viewers to be more self-aware, open-minded, and intentional in creating caring, inclusive environments. By breaking down complex behavioral science into digestible insights, the series helps individuals and organizations navigate human differences more effectively. Facilitator questions accompany each episode, encouraging deep reflection and meaningful dialogue about how these concepts impact workplace culture, decision-making, and everyday interactions.

The overarching message of Inclusion Insights is simple yet powerful: Be less certain. Be more curious. Through curiosity and awareness, we can overcome unconscious biases, foster genuine inclusion, and create spaces where everyone feels valued and heard.
