Our code of conduct guides our interactions online and offline. Please read them carefully and follow them at all times while you are a member of the L&D Shakers.

While interacting with other members, we ask that you keep the following principles in mind to help us to maintain a safe and inclusive environment:

• Welcome and support people of all backgrounds and identities. Any environment (Slack, LinkedIn, etc) supported by the L&D Shakers community is a safe environment where people are free to express their identities.
• Be a respectful community participant that values other's skills, and contributions.
• Ensure that the relationships and conversations among members of the L&D Shakers community remain respectful, participatory, and productive.
• Make differences into strengths. We can find strength in diversity. Different people have different perspectives on issues, and that can be valuable for solving problems or generating new ideas.
• Maintain an environment where people are free from discrimination or harassment. (If you are harassed or witness harassment refer to the harassment policy below.)

Community No Selling Policy

L&D Shakers is a place for connecting, learning, and growing, with a strict “no selling” policy.

Selling or promoting your product or service can ONLY BE DONE in our community Slack channel #2-promote-your-services. Alternatively, you can also add your business details to our community marketplace.

Other channels where you can promote your work are:

#2-proud-me = is for your FREE resources (podcasts, articles, e-books, courses, newsletters, events etc).

#2-promote-your-services = is the place for all your PAID offerings.

#2-other-events-courses-trainings = FREE events and courses THAT ARE NOT YOUR OWN, and are not organized by L&D Shakers.

When community members ask for advice or recommendations, and you are able to help them with a paid service or product, please reply publicly, explaining how you can help and how they can reach out to you.

Never contact that person via private message with a sales pitch. Never pitch your product in a conversation with someone you’ve met in the community, unless invited to share. Never approach someone in DM asking to get feedback on your service/ product, “pick their brains” or do any other form of market research.
