SOME IMPORTANT NOTES Our discussions today are about learning, not about performance, so… sharing your challenges and failures can be just as important as sharing your wins and successes.

MEETING NORMS REFRESH Suspend judgment as best you can. Respect one another. Seek to understand rather than persuade. Invite and honour diverse opinions. Speak what has personal heart and meaning. Go for honesty without going on and on and on.
