What Is a Discussion Behavior?

We are specifically referring to discussion behaviors that any participant can use to improve deliberation and decision-making.

We've all been in conversations where something goes wrong - whether just a little awry, or badly wrong - and the group spins away from the intended topics or decision points. This course is for those moments, and especially for the subset of those moments where we just don't know what to do to get back on track.
