PETERSON GLOSSARY 4 Meaning Clusters ACCELERATED THINK TANKS: A conversational or meeting technique following these simple rules: Place a concept or question before a group where each member is regarded equally. Begin with a topic or a 5 minute reading. Pass a Talking Stick around the room always to the person on the left. Only the person holding the Talking Stick may speak. Always limit remarks to two or three minutes by previous agreement. No one may speak or ask questions until they receive the Talking Stick. Group members show respect for all speakers by creating memory patterns of the entire proceeding. If a member wishes to make no comment he or she passes the stick along to the next person. Other members do not consider this to be a "cop-out".
