1. Our promise to each other
2. Respect and civility
- Assume good intent. Disagree with ideas, never attack people.
- No slurs, insults, personal attacks, or "punching down" jokes.
- Honor names, pronouns, backgrounds, faiths, and lived experiences.
- Give credit. Quote sources. Don't pass others' work off as your own.
3. Zero tolerance for hate, harassment, or threats
- No hate speech targeting race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, age, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
- No harassment, doxxing, stalking, or coordinated pile-ons — inside the platform or off it.
- No threats of violence or content that glorifies violence, self-harm, or suicide.
- No sexual content, nudity, or unwanted sexual advances — including in DMs.
- No content that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits minors. This is grounds for immediate removal and, where required, reporting to authorities.
4. Honesty and identity
- Use your real name and a real photo. No impersonation of members, stewards, brands, or public figures.
- Be transparent about who you represent when you post on behalf of a company or client.
- No fake reviews, fake testimonials, engagement rigging (coordinated fake likes/comments/shares), or manufactured "social proof".
- Don't misrepresent your credentials, results, revenue, or affiliations.
5. Safe business conduct
- No pyramid schemes, MLM recruiting, "get-rich-quick" pitches, or high-pressure DM sales.
- No solicitation without invitation. Members did not opt in to cold outreach.
- Financial, legal, medical, or tax opinions are educational — not professional advice. Recommend that clients consult licensed professionals.
- Disclose material conflicts of interest, referral fees, and paid partnerships.
6. Privacy and confidentiality
- What's shared inside a private space, cohort, or 1:1 room stays there unless the sharer gives permission.
- Never share another member's contact info, address, employer, or private messages without consent.
- Roundtables may be recorded. When you record, ask consent on-camera and share transcripts only with those who were present unless everyone agrees otherwise.
- Don't upload client data, PHI, PII, trade secrets, or NDAs into shared or AI tools without authorization.
7. Intellectual property
- Only upload content you own or have permission to use — images, videos, decks, music, handouts.
- Respect trademarks and brand marks; don't imply endorsements you don't have.
- Workshops, courses, and toolkits are licensed for your use with clients. Do not resell, rebrand, or redistribute LaFleur Leadership Network materials as your own product.
8. Spam, scams, and platform abuse
- No spam, mass tagging, repetitive posting, or link farms.
- No phishing, malware, crypto pumps, or "investment opportunities" targeting members.
- Don't scrape, screen-record, or export member data.
- Don't try to bypass paywalls, share your login, or resell access.
9. Responsible use of AI
AI tools inside the platform — including Brittnee, the AI Business Coach, the Playground games, Brand Voice Studio, Meeting Intelligence, and the Course/Workshop generators — are here to accelerate your work, not replace your judgment. When you use them, follow these rules:
- You are accountable for anything you publish, send to clients, or act on — even if AI wrote it. Review, verify, and edit before you share.
- Disclose meaningful AI use to clients, employers, and audiences when it matters (e.g. an AI-generated proposal, transcript summary, or coaching plan).
- Never feed AI confidential client data, PHI, PII, financial records, passwords, NDA-covered material, or anyone else's copyrighted work without permission.
- Don't impersonate humans with AI. Don't pass AI-generated voice, video, or text off as another real person.
- No harmful generation. Do not use AI to produce hate content, harassment, deceptive marketing, deepfakes of real people, sexual content, malware, or content targeting minors.
- AI can be wrong. Fact-check numbers, citations, laws, medical/financial claims, and quotes before use. "Brittnee can make mistakes — check and verify important information" applies to every AI tool here.
- Don't scrape or reverse-engineer the AI systems, prompts, or training data behind the platform.
10. Roundtables, calls, and events
- Show up on time, camera-ready when asked, and mute when you're not speaking.
- Stewards and hosts run the room — follow their guidance on format, timing, and Q&A.
- No screen-capturing another member without their consent.
- Guests you invite are your responsibility and are held to these same guidelines.
11. Reporting and enforcement
If you see something that violates these guidelines, message a Steward or Admin. We investigate every report, protect the reporter's identity where possible, and take action based on severity and pattern.
Actions can include, in escalating order:
- A private note or coaching from a Steward
- Content removal
- Temporary loss of posting, DM, or Roundtable privileges
- Suspension of your account without refund
- Permanent removal from the network and, where applicable, referral to law enforcement
Severe conduct — including threats, sexual content involving minors, doxxing, or fraud — results in immediate removal.
