I'd like to offer these agreements as a starting point...
This is a brave space.
- No one is here to perform.
- No one is here to pretend they have it all figured out.
- We're all here because we're tired of doing this alone.
What's shared in this space stays in this space.
- Confidentiality is non-negotiable. Let’s speak the lessons yet not the details.
- Let’s be respectful and kind. It takes vulnerability to show up authentically and wholeheartedly so let’s co-create a brave space.
You don't have to show up perfectly.
- Camera off because you don't have capacity? Cool.
- Kids interrupting in the background? We've all been there.
- Need to just listen and not talk? That's so relatable.
You're not performing… you're being human.
- There's no "right way" to do this.
- You show up however you can, exactly as you are.
We will practice the 4 Agreements by Don Miquel Ruiz:
- Be impeccable with your word
- Don’t make assumptions
- Don’t take anything personally
- Always do your best
This is the foundation for how we will put the human back into systems change.
What comes next we co-create together!
