The Room Rules 1. What's said here stays here. People tell the truth in this room because they trust that. Protect it. 2. Give as much as you take. Ask freely. Answer often. We can tell the difference. 3. Specifics help us help you. "I'm stuck on my next move" is hard to work with. "I have two offers and the smaller one scares me" is easy to work with. 4. Advice sounds like "what I tried." Share what you did, what it cost, and what you'd change. Skip "you should." 5. Ask for what you actually need. Tell us if you want ideas, a gut check, or just to be heard. We'll follow your lead. 6. Celebrate other people out loud. Somebody's win took months you never saw. Say something. 7. Come as you are. Cameras optional. Bad weeks welcome. Nobody here is performing. 8. Introductions are gifts. Offer them freely. Ask before you pass someone's name along. 9. Nobody does this alone. That's the whole point. Reach out first, and reach back often.
