4. EXPECTATIONS Geo-Needs Team Norms Activity What is a norm?
Guidelines that shape interactions between team members
Example: Minimize distractions
With your neighbor, brainstorm two possible norms for this meeting and write each on a sticky note
Read and add to the poster
Put similar ideas in clusters, or start a new cluster
Geo-Needs
NEEDS STICKY NOTES
Pass around stickies
Read instructions - write down two norms
Go around the room and each person volunteers one. If a repeat, OK to pass. Put similar ideas in clusters, or if a new idea start a new cluster

5. EXPECTATIONS Geo-Needs Team Norms Everyone participates
But OK to “pass” on a specific activity
Be present and engaged
Minimize distractions – we have scheduled breaks for catching up with your regular life
Civil discourse
Critique the work, never the person
Focus on positives, not just negatives

6. EXPECTATIONS Geo-Needs Parking Lot
If you have a great idea but it is off topic, put it on a sticky note into the “parking lot” for later.
Soapbox
After each break we will have up to three slots for participants to tell the group whatever they want in 60 seconds.
Geo-Needs
Soapbox - put a poster on the wall and let people sign up. When done, check off.
