Here some guidelines to help our room run smoothly
audience members are welcome to listen in podcast mode and there’s no pressure to speak
tap “hand raising” to come to the stage and get a mic, please stay muted until you’re speaking
we take turns in PTR order sharing a short story about almost anything going on in our bipolar lives (up to 5 mins)
anyone else on the stage who wants to comment can give feedback on the story just told (we don’t drift into another unrelated story when giving feedback)
please keep your feedback brief and on point. this helps keep the conversation going and nobody dominating (up to 2 mins)
sometimes people aren’t looking for feedback, they just want to share and feel supported – this is fine too just let us know
anyone in podcast mode who wants to contribute but not speak, you can send us a question or comment on backchannel and we’ll share it for you
we don’t tolerate rude or disruptive behaviour, please be kind and respectful toward others
we don’t allow promotions of your books or courses, etc. But, if you end us a link we can pin it in the room IF it’s germain to the present discussion
