Collaboration:
Collaboration is alive when two or more perspectives come together in partnership to create and achieve a desired outcome or goal. Contribution consists of bringing your unique ideas and expertise, listening actively and knowing what needs to be done or said to make or be the difference. While seemingly small or big, each effort and action we take contributes to a desired outcome or goal.

Courage:
Courage is the choice to rise up against challenge and adversity, while acknowledging the presence of fear. It's stepping outside your comfort zone and making decisions with the greater good in mind.

Creativity:
Creativity is the spark that ignites new, meaningful and innovative ideas, methods, and patterns while bringing in your intuition and resourcefulness. Creativity produces something that otherwise does not exist to impact your team, your community and the world in a positive way.

Trust:
Trust is a two-way partnership that is built through clear communication, respect and consistency. It is the unwavering belief that choices, actions and decisions are for the advancement and growth for all.

Limitless:
Living in limitless possibility is being open and aware of the potential in all things -people, relationships, tasks, actions and goals. It is noticing challenges and obstacles and choosing to imagine, create and innovate ways to overcome them, grow and accomplish big goals and dreams.

Passion:
Passion inspires you and inspires others. It is contagious. Passion is a combination of great intention, ownership and joy. It is truly caring about what you're doing and who you are serving in the moment. This is the recipe for great impact.

Round tables are a great space to practice and improve your communication skills. 

Leading a round table effectively will set up an example for your teammates and will appoint your skills as a leader.

Follow these helpful tips to lead your round table:

1. Agenda
It is crucial to use time efficiently. Agendas help you keep track of time and items you need to address before the end of the meeting. In your monthly review form, there is an Agenda that you can follow to get things started.

2. Make it personal
Not all ideas will be yours, but it is important that you take the ideas from your team and treat them as they were. This means that you must try to support them, analyze potential challenges, and use your creativity to make them flourish. 

3. Be a great listener
As a moderator, you understand the importance of keeping your statements concise. Moderators are meant to facilitate, not dictate. A great moderator knows when to pause and allow others to speak. More importantly, a great moderator is a great listener. Always take the time to listen and refer back to what participants mentioned throughout the round table.
