Get comfortable being uncomfortable – accept that this isn’t easy!
Uncomfortable doesn’t mean unsafe – people decide what they want to share
Listen generously to learn; don’t interrupt
Respect others’ experiences and where they enter this conversation from
Honor confidentiality (stories stay, learning leaves)
Challenge the ideas, not the person. Seek clarification
Presume positive intent
Understand the difference between intent and impact
Step Up, Step Back – make room for everyone
Speak from your own experiences
Make this a safe, respectful, learning community – we all have things to offer and to receive
