Sample Agreements for Conversation
We recommend that you share agreements for conversation at the beginning of the meeting. Additionally, you may post them on a flip-chart in the room where the discussion will take place.
o Open-mindedness – listen to and respect all points of view
o Acceptance – suspend judgment as best you can
o Curiosity – seek to understand rather than to persuade
o Discovery – question old assumptions, look for new insights
o Sincerity – speak for yourself and from your own experience
o Brevity – go for honesty and depth but don’t go on and on
