- One Mic, One Voice: We respect the person speaking by giving them our full attention. No cross-talk or side conversations—everyone deserves to be heard without interruption.
- Assume Positive Intent: We start from a place of trust. Even if a comment is phrased awkwardly, we assume the person is coming from a good place. If something stings, we ask for clarification before reacting.
- Step Up, Step Back
- Step Up: If you’re usually quiet, we encourage you to share your unique perspective.
- Step Back: If you’ve already shared several times, create space for others to contribute. We want to balance the "airtime."
- Listen to Understand, Not to Respond: Often we listen just to find an opening for our own point. Here, we listen to truly grasp the speaker's lived experience, feelings, or fears.
- Safe Space, Brave Space: What is said here stays here (confidentiality), but what is learned here leaves here (growth). We create a safe environment for vulnerability and a brave environment for difficult but necessary conversations.
- Own Your "I" Statements: Speak from your own experience ("I feel," "I noticed") rather than making generalizations about groups of people or how "everyone" feels.
