This is a place for leaders and their teams to connect, learn, and grow. Show up ready to listen, share openly, and support one another. Assume positive intent, and remember we all have different experiences that shape our perspectives.
2
Keep It Human
We value the person behind the role. Speak to people, not job titles. Celebrate wins, acknowledge challenges, and treat every conversation as a chance to build trust and understanding.
3
Respect Confidentiality
What’s shared here stays here. We call this The Bureau Oath. It creates a safe space for candid discussions about leadership, business, and life. Don’t share stories, screenshots, or identifiable details outside the community without permission.
4
Give More Than You Take
Share resources, answer questions, and contribute to discussions even when you’re not looking for something in return. The strength of The Bureau comes from members leaning in for each other.
5
Ask Clearly, Answer Honestly
Whether you’re seeking advice or offering it, be specific and direct. Clear questions and candid answers lead to better outcomes for everyone.
6
Keep It Constructive
We can disagree without being disagreeable. Challenge ideas, not people. If you have feedback, make it about the work, the process, or the approach, not the individual.
7
Collaborating Over Selling
The Bureau isn’t a place to find customers. You need to build relationships before pitching. And even then, there is a designated space for it. Share what you offer in the #shameless-self-promo Slack channel, but do so in a way that provides value first.
8
Protect Our Safe Space
Flag behavior that violates these guidelines. A quick message to the admin team helps keep our community healthy and aligned with our values.
9
Own Your Impact
We all make mistakes. If you cross a line, acknowledge it, make it right, and move forward. Accountability is a strength, not a weakness.
10
Live the Values
The Bureau is built on mutual respect, authenticity, compassion, knowledge, support, and empathy. Keep those in mind as you interact with the community.
