About The Sit Down & Speak Up Book Club
Group Discussion Guidelines
- Listen attentively, without interrupting others (a compassionate conversation allows for each speaker to complete his/her/their thoughts, free from distractions and disruptions; kindly listen)
- Always speak kindly and compassionately (discourse is dependent upon disagreement; offer criticism in constructive ways that open a point up for discussion rather than disrespect)
- Take turns, being mindful of total talk time (everyone's voice is valued and will be heard; be mindful about how often and how long you speak; a silent timer will be used to ensure equity)
- Keep the discussion relevant and on track (brief digressions are fine, as they allow us to share experiences that are relevant to the topic, but don't sidetrack or derail the discussion)
