Ground Rules

  • Listen to understand, not to respond. Listen for learning opportunities. Do not prepare a response; just listen.
  • W.A.I.T: Use self-awareness by asking yourself “Why Am I Talking?” Remember everyone has the right to share their ideas, but not everyone always has the opportunity.
  • Assume good intentions but attend to impact. We are all good people looking to collaborate for better outcomes. Not all good intentions lead to good outcomes; If someone is hurt, focus on listening and understanding the impact, not on the intent.
  • Be willing to make mistakes and be forgiving of those who do. Forgiveness fosters safety so we can all take risks. We make mistakes, even with good intentions. By making mistakes, we ultimately learn how to do things better.
  • Allow for, and appreciate, disagreement of opinions, ideas, methods – respectfully. Don’t interrupt someone just because you disagree with them. Listen to understand; you may find you have something in common. Critique ideas, not people.
  • ersonal stories stay, lessons can be shared. After the meeting, comments, ideas and thoughts will be attributed to any individual – this is a group learning process. If you share a personal story, let people know if or how your story can be shared.
  • Speak clearly and concisely and use audio amplification to ensure all can hear.
