The Four Agreements of Courageous Conversations1.	Stay engaged: Staying engaged means “remaining morally, emotionally, intellectually, and socially involved in the dialogue”2.	Experience discomfort: This norm acknowledges that discomfort is inevitable... and participants make a commitment to bring issues into the open. It is not talking about these issues that create divisiveness. 3.	Speak your truth: This means being open about thoughts and feelings and not just saying what you think others want to hear.4.	Expect and accept nonclosure: This agreement asks participants to “hang out in uncertainty” and not rush to quick solutions...

structure, getting things done---do I feel support?  how do I get support?
focus on a sole, well defined problem
NORMS  we assume everyone is busy and therefore won't ask.  how to find/make time to problem solve.
The Four Agreements:  be impeccable with your word; don't take things personally; don't make assumptions; always do your best (not perfect); are these habits of mind?
don't settle for "I can't
RULES of ENGAGEMENT:  stay engaged; experience discomfort; bring issues in open; speak your truth; expect and accept uncertainty.
Rushing to solution, time driven, we don't say no.  timeline/deadline
