Question Salad: have a question for the group? Add it to the salad bowl when you arrive. After discussing the agenda items below, we’ll pull questions from the bowl- if you can answer another grower’s question in 1-min or less go for it right then and there, if the answer necessitates more time to be helpful, let the group know anyone who wants to chat about it can see you after the game.
Post-it note written brainstorm: add your thoughts to the prompts on the wall. Prompts will be based on the pre-meeting survey.
