Group Norms:
1. Be Present: Listen without interrupting or engaging with your own mental chatter
2. Come with a learning and growth mindset. Nobody knows everything, but together we know a lot.
3. Assume best intent. Challenge with love and not judgment
4. Ask permission to talk more another time about something someone said. They may say no.
5. Save questions for the Q&A, and use this space for questions that further discussion rather than ad hominem.
