WIN Touchstones

  1. Be present as fully as possible.  Speak your truth from your heart and mind.

  2. Listen generously to each other’s truths.  Trust that we all hold a piece of the puzzle and we need each other’s pieces to understand the whole picture.

  3. Embrace differences and be open to learning from each other.

  4. When the going gets rough, suspend judgment and get curious.  Be quick to forgive and ask open questions to understand. 

  5. Honor each other’s learning and resourcefulness.  Trust we each will learn and contribute in our own way, that there is no need to “fix” each other.

  6. Make space to pause and reflect to deepen our thinking.

  7. Be willing to have meaningful conflict to create unprecedented goals and solutions.  When needed, seek council for help with conflicts.

  8. Allow your ideas to be developed further by others. 

  9. Seek common ground.  When we can’t fully agree, commit to a unified decision and see what happens with a humble posture of learning.  If we have made the wrong turn, we will discover it together and turn the right way together.

  10. Accept that we will sometimes fail, but we will learn together and move forward.
