Guidelines for Creating a Supportive and Safe Learning Environment:
Respect confidentiality, no attribution
Be willing to “try stuff on”
Okay to disagree; Not okay to blame, shame, attack (self or others)
Ground events/communications in personal experience, using “I” statements - Speak your own truth
Practice “Both/And” thinking (use “And” instead of “But”)
Be aware of Intent vs. Impact
Say “ouch” when something is said or done that is hurtful
Share the “air time”, actively listening to other
