Ground Rules

  • When in doubt about the process, the facilitator decides.
  • Use the Color Cards.
  • Stay on topic.
  • No side conversations.
  • Speak for yourself, and allow others to speak for themselves.
  • Be succinct.
  • Avoid repeating a point or idea that has already been stated by yourself or others.
  • Listen for understanding before you react.
  • Ask questions rather than make assumptions — if confused, ask!
  • Emotions are okay, aggression is not.
