  • We mute our microphones when others are speaking. 

  • We don’t interrupt each other when speaking. 

  • We offer encouragement and support.

  • We ask before offering feedback, unless feedback has been explicitly requested. 

  • We refrain from promoting diet and weight loss.

  • We refrain from all forms of hate speech and from making disparaging remarks about bodies of any kind.
