• Acceptance: suspend judgment as best you can • Curiosity: seek to understand rather than persuade • Discovery: question old assumptions, look for new
insights • Sincerity: speak for yourself about what has
personal heart and meaning • Brevity: go for honesty and depth, but don’t go on
and on
Process

• Each table selects a facilitator.
• It is the leader’s role to ensure all voices are heard and that the conversation remains focused on problem solving and sharing of effective strategies.
• After 10 minutes, you can either remain with that topic or move on to another topic of interest.
