Rules of Engagement ;)

• YOU are the agenda. YOU are the program. This is YOUR time.
• This is not a place to brag or boast - we're not here to impress.
• If you haven't been to something like this before, this is a different style of engagement. You may be used to one person giving all the answers. Not true here.
• We are about to start a few days of dialogue, not monologue. We've been given a gift - three days away to spend with colleagues, sharing ideas, stories, resting in the comfort of being understood by peers.
• Don't get agenda anxiety. It's written in "chalk", not in stone. We'll change it as needed. Flexibility is the key word here.
• What is said here is confidential. We hope to build an atmosphere of trust - a safe haven.
  
• Your honesty will lead to our honesty.
• Some are having a great year.
• Others may be ready to quit.
• Reach out and make an effort to connect.
• On professional and program materials - thou shalt not steal. For any that are in the public domain - run with 'em.
• Disagreement is okay - iron sharpens iron. What the Church has not agreed upon in 2,000 years we won't settle in three days.
  
• Keep disagreement from becoming personal.
• Learn from others with a student's heart.
• Silence is okay. Let things percolate.
• Nobody dominates. Everyone participates.
