Community principles
The Opportunity Table is built around curious, generous and respectful conversation. These seven principles describe how we behave at the table, at gatherings and wherever the community meets.
Draft — pending review
Bring something to the table
Everyone has something to contribute: an experience, idea, question, perspective or connection.
Stay curious
Listen, ask questions and learn from people outside your immediate field.
Share generously
Knowledge becomes more valuable when it is shared.
Connect beyond titles
A CEO, founder, professional, creative or entrepreneur is more than their title.
Challenge ideas, respect people
Healthy debate and different perspectives are welcome; disrespect is not.
Create space
Good conversations require both speaking and listening.
Think beyond the room
The value of a connection may not be obvious immediately.
Raising a concern
If something at a gathering, or in any part of our community, does not feel right, please tell us.
- Email hello@theopportunitytable.com [TO BE CONFIRMED: contact address], or use the contact form and choose “Something else”.
- Tell us what happened, when, and who was involved, as far as you are comfortable sharing.
We will treat what you tell us with care and share it only with the people who need to know in order to look into it.
If anyone is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services first.
How these principles are applied
How these principles will be applied at gatherings, including what happens if they are not followed, will be confirmed before the next gathering. [TO BE CONFIRMED]
