The talking stick is the communication tool that ensures a code of conduct of respect.
You can just listen. There’s no need to think about what you’re going to say because you’re not going to be able to speak until you get the talking stick.
You get to wait your turn. Too often we want to talk over those who are speaking. We don’t want to let others get a turn we just want to spew our opinion.
