Table of Contents

Safety & Well-being First

Safety and well-being take priority. If you need to step out, turn off your camera, move around, or do anything else, feel free to do so.

Respect & Value Difference

We respect and value difference. We encourage everyone to ask for clarification, speak up when something is unclear, or request more information.

All Opinions Count

This is a safe space for learning. We are respectful, supportive, and friendly to each other.

Active Listening & Engagement

We will actively listen and improve. We value everyone’s contribution equally. Actively listen and avoid side conversations.

Tackle Problems, Not People

Be respectful—assume good intent, don’t interrupt, and respond to what’s in front of you, not what you imagine.

Share the Air

Take responsibility for helping everyone have time in the conversation. Be conscious of who has and who hasn’t contributed.
