FEEDBACK FORUM GROUND RULES

For all who participate, we adopt these ground rules as our shared commitment to having a fun and productive feedback session. If we there’s an opportunity to improve these rules, we can and will change them, together: Feel free to give us *your* feedback, too!

Respect the people.

• Treat each other with kindness and tolerance first. We all have tricky days when we aren’t at our best. You will appreciate this tolerance when that tricky day is yours.
• Assume best intentions, but do not assume anything else. Ask questions to better understand anything that is unclear or troubling.
• Listen when others speak. Don’t interrupt: If you have something urgent to add, raise your hand for acknowledgement.
• Take care of yourself. If you need to step out or take a break, do it. The group values your participation, so do what you need to do so you can devote your full attention.

Respect the purpose

• We’re convening to help Founders think through current challenges. Come prepared and ready to engage.
• Resources lead to results. Be ready to contribute information or connections to help Founders achieve better outcomes.
• We are all responsible for staying on track. Speak up if you feel we’re going off the rails!

Respect the process.

• Start on time. End on time.
• Step up: If you have an insightful question or helpful suggestion, please share it.
• Step back: Share the time. Do not monopolize the discussion or rob others of time needed to share their perspectives.
• Document clear commitments, then follow-through. Walk your talk!
