When: Between Session 1 and Session 2

Duration: 45-60 minutes

Materials: Shared Miro board (template provided), 7 Principles reference

\nThis session helps the studio identify individual values and see where they align or diverge as a team. The goal is to notice rather than try to align everything.

If tension emerges, that's okay. Name it and move on.

Before the session

• Confirm everyone completed their individual journaling (Session 1 homework)
• Ensure their studio Miro board has the template
• Have the 7 Principles visible (on the board or screen-shared)

---

1. Check-in

2. Individual sharing (15-20 min)

Each person shares 3-5 values from their individual reflection.

prompts:

• "What values came up when you did the journaling?"
• "You don't need to explain or justify"

As they share:

• Each person adds their values to the Miro board (stickies in their colour/section)
• No discussion yet - just capture

Watch for:

• Someone dominating or going first every time
• Someone staying quiet - invite them in gently
• Values that sound the same but might mean different things

3. Noticing patterns (10-15 min)

Now look at the board together.

Prompts:

• "What do you notice?"
• "Where do you see overlap?"
• "Any surprises?"
• "Are there values that seem similar but might mean different things to different people?"

Example to offer: "Transparency" - does it mean open documents? Open conversations? Both? Neither? What exactly is meant?

Let them discuss and keep it moving

4. Connecting to the 7 Principles (10 min)

Look at the ICA 7 Principles together. Also see ICA Values Connections

prompt:

• "do you see connections between your values and these principles?"
• "draw lines or group things if it helps."

This can be loosey goosey and don't let them fixate on making a beautiful diagram. the point is to see that their values connect to a larger cooperative tradition.

5. To bring back to Session 2 (5 min)

prom

• "what's one thing you learned about where your team aligns or diverges?"
• "you'll share this in session 2 - doesn't need to be polished."

Have someone write it down or capture it on the board.

6. Community agreements contribution (5 min)

"Based on this conversation, are there 1-2 values you'd propose adding to the cohort community agreements?"

Capture these to bring back to the full group.

Tips

If someone dominates: "Let's hear from someone who hasn't shared yet."

If no one talks: "Take a minute to look at the board silently. What stands out?"

If tension emerges: "I'm hearing some different perspectives here. That's useful but we don't need to resolve it today."

If they want to debate definitions: "It's okay to mean different things. The goal is simply to notice where you might need to clarify later."

If time runs short: Prioritize steps 2-3 (sharing and noticing). The principles connection and agreements contribution can be done async if needed.

After the session

• Note any tensions / surprises to mention in your Peer Support check-in
• Remind the team to bring their learnings to Session 2
