Seven Ground Rules for the Table
1. Each member is to uphold the values of the table; to treat each other with respect, grace, and curiosity.
2. One voice at a time. Listen generously and let each person finish before anyone responds.
3. Reflect back what you heard the other person say and show appreciation for it.
4. Argue with the idea, not the person sitting across from you.
5. You're allowed to disagree and still come back next time — that's the whole point.
6. What's said at the table stays at the table, unless everyone agrees to share it.
7. If it gets too heated, pause, take a breath.
