FAQs

  • Ask yourself, has everyone contributed yet?

    Give yourself permission if you normally do not speak up.

  • Be curious.

  • Seek consent before sharing outside of space.

  • Lead with empathy and hold grace for one another.

    Don’t assume consensus/group think.

    Assume positive intent and also own the impact of your words and actions.

  • Lean into who you are, not what you do.

  • Host yourself and take care of yourself as needed.

    Marlon Hall will be on hand to also hold space for those that need it.
