Transform Your Message and Expertise to New Audiences

Niiamah’s Approach to Creating Powerful Agreements:

• Set the stage for something different (even agreements aren’t “ground rules”)
  
• Determine the agreements needed for LEADERSHIP to show up powerfully, then for the individual participants, then for the collective for all participants
  • As a leader, you’ll know how to handle many situations.
    
    The agreements help you set a commitment and standard for yourself to take powerful aligned action when YOU are put on your edge.
    
    This enables you to show up when safety gets questioned (and in a powerful transformational conversations, this is a goal not a mistake).
    
• Present each agreement individually: includes asking for questions, honoring dissent, and giving each person a chance to personally agree
  
• Honor the space and time to create agreements
  
  • How you treat agreements (including space for dissent) IS what creates the powerful space – you are MODELLING the safety and inviting confrontation from the onset. That’s the true power in it.
    
  • Guiding Principle: If you simply say or have to say “this is a safe space”, then it clearly isn’t.
    
• Allow yourself room to be messy.
  
  You are asking people to be vulnerable, and it is rare that a space gets more vulnerable than it’s leader is willing to get.
  
  You can demonstrate your vulnerability as a leader by leaving space to be confronted or to get it wrong or in acknowledging you don’t have the answers.

Example: Melting Pot 2020 Agreements

• Entering a different world – The way things go here
• Questions over Answer Advice-Free Zone – Do not try and be helpful or give advice; Paternalistic
  • Invitation to explore what that means for you instead
• Curiosity over Convincing
• Courage over Confidence – Place to be truly seen
• Depth over Scale 
• Possibility over Problems
• Peopletics over Politics: Who we are vs. how we are

Example: Niiamah’s Personal 3 Agreements when conversation turns “crucial”

1. I’m going to hide nothing and hold nothing back – are you good with this?
2. I’m here to serve you rather than please you – are you good with that?
3. I have a track record of having life changing conversations, and at this point in my life, I refuse to have anything less than that. Are you open to the possibility of this being a life changing conversation?
