If it would help, come up with your own “Conduct To Consider” list based on answers from the group.It is not intended to create greater divides. This book is meant to challenge thought and help us understand one another. If someone gets offended or something uncomfortable happens, commit to working it out as a group until you can reach an understanding (even if you have to agree to disagree).Heavy topics should always have a healthy dose of humor thrown into the mix because how else can we deal with the weightyness of life? How will you grow? Seek out people with differing opinion than you. Don’t compile a group of only your friends.Push yourself beyond your engagement comfort and surprise yourself. If you typically tend to be quieter in group settings, challenge yourself to speak up.Be silent for a little longer than usual. If you have no problems being the first to answer questions, try to refrain.Don’t wait until week 15 to truly engage. Sometimes conversational pauses are actually people getting themselves ready to walk out onto the diving board. Be honest, be brave and let your mind become an open book as it engages with people of different thought and opinion than you.Be prepared to push yourself beyond the simple “yes” or “no” answers.There are no correct or incorrect answers, only honest or dishonest ones.Your group will only go as deep as you yourself are willing to go deep.Email me: The size of the group is up to the group. Use the questions to initiate discussion, but please, please, please, go beyond! Do your own thing! Ask your own questions! Start your own unique convo’s! And I would love to hear the creative questions your group comes up with in the process (if confidentiality permits). These questions, however, are not meant to be a destination but rather a point of departure. Each chapter also ends with a few facilitating questions pertaining to the chapter’s topic.The answers can be as serious or as silly as you make them. As a way to break the ice and have a few good laughs (because who doesn’t like having fun?), there are five starter questions at the beginning of each chapter.The most effective way to journey through this book is to commit to meeting once a week for the duration of 15 weeks. Divided into 15 chapters, each chapter is meant to inspire and encourage 15 different conversations centering on 15 different themes.
