Community Guidelines
The Winning Edge and Greenwoodx wants to ensure that everyone in our community feels safe, heard and respected. Here are a few guidelines to help keep this culture intact:
This is not a mentorship program.
We understand that every connection won’t be ideal for a long-term relationship so we allow professionals and students to decide who they want to add to their network for future conversations.
Be nice.
Naturally, you are occasionally going to meet someone who thinks differently than you. That is ok. Everyone on Greenwoodx is sharing their story. Don’t try to negate or conceal their experience, listen and empathize.
Respect other people’s time.
If you are going to be late, notify the other person as soon as possible with the time you will be able to join. If you are no longer able to take the call, notify the other person within 24 hours that you need to reschedule.
No-shows and users under the age of 18 years old are a violation of their Terms of Service and can result in removal from Greenwoodx.
Get to know each other.
Greenwoodx and The Winning Edge Leadership Academy is about making connections and growing your network, not job openings. You will be speaking with real people and not company recruiters. Refrain from asking for a job, internship, or referral.
Come to the video calls ready to explore ideas or pose questions you may want to know about the other person. If you need some pointers, check out the Call Tips.
Be prepared and engaged.
Be honest.
Everyone on Greenwoodx is looking to share their story. Whether you are bringing a student perspective or professional perspective, meet the other person where they are at. If you can relate, share your experience. If you can not, be a great listener. You don’t have to over embellish your experience. The other person is already impressed.
Follow local laws.
Any discrimination, hate speech, bullying, threats of physical violence (directly or indirectly), or harassment will not be tolerated and will result in immediate removal from Greenwoodx.
Take action.
If you see or experience any violations outlined above, please notify our team at grnwdx@gmail.com or use the report button on www.greenwoodx.org/app
