Before you say anything online, ask: Is it T rue? Is it H elpful? Is it I nspiring? Is it N ecessary? Is it K ind? If the answer is no, a Master Ninja keeps their hands off the keyboard.
Facilitator Script: "If you are playing a game and someone makes a mistake, should you type 'You're bad at this'? Let's check the THINK rule. Is it helpful? No. Is it kind? No. So, what would a Virtual Ninja do instead? (Wait for ideas like: 'Good try!' or saying nothing)."

Leading with Empathy
"Listen, Support, Lead!"
A leader doesn't say 'Do what I say.' A leader says 'How can I help you succeed?' When you understand how someone feels, you can guide them better. This is called Empathy, and it's the foundation of a great ninja squad.
Facilitator Script: "Close your eyes. Imagine you are the captain of a team. One of your teammates just made a mistake. Do you yell at them? Or do you go over, put a hand on their shoulder, and say 'Don't worry, we'll get it together'? Which one makes you a stronger leader?"

"Mistakes Happen, Lies Don't!"
A mistake is an accident. A lie is a choice. When you are honest about a mistake, you get a 'Clean Slate.' It might feel scary at first, but it makes you a ninja of integrity. People trust ninjas who tell the truth.
Facilitator Script: "If you break a rule, the best thing to do is own it. Say: 'I made a mistake, I'm sorry, how can I fix it?' This is called taking responsibility, and it's a major ninja leadership level-up."
