DO NOW: 1) Choose a norm that resonates with you or stands out in some way. Why did you choose it? Write a comment under that norm explaining. 2) OPTIONAL: Are there additional norms that we should put in place for an open discussion? If so, add a new post with your suggested norm. by Krystal Astwood

Maintain a Problem-Solution Mindset - Focus on what we CAN do and not what we CAN'T do or what DOESN'T work. Believe that the thing we need is possible.

Norms - Speak about other team members or employees as though they are in the room with us

Speak about other team members or employees as though they are in the room with us - be constructive and respectful at the same time

Norms - Practice Introspection while acknowledging our role/job description and knowing that the work still needs to get done

Practice Introspection while acknowledging our role/job description and knowing that the work still needs to get done (introspection - the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes)

Norms - Checking in with each other

When another team member has an idea, check in with others as a formality even if you think you know how they would respond. This helps everyone feel included.
