My name is Heather (my nickname is H), and I head the 7 Cups Community Management Team (list here). Please drop by my PMs if you have any questions or safety concerns!

NOTE: I am unable to take chat requests as I cannot respond in a timely manner. To find a listener click the Browse Listeners. Listeners indicate if they are taking on new chats in their profile. The green dot indicates they are currently online. For urgent needs please join the general queue and the first available listener will connect.

7 Cups is built on collaboration, and a little appreciation goes a long way! It takes just a second to make someone's whole day right now:

...See more As we head into the new year, let's make sure we're starting out on the right foot! Some of you may recognize this reflection exercise from last year [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/HsHangout_1970/2024Finishthesentence_319754/].  When you think about 2025, what do you want to achieve? What's the first thing that comes to mind? That may be what you want to focus on. If you're the type who prefers to really think about it, that's good too! At the end of the sentences, you should have an idea of what you want to work on this year. Finish the sentences! ⭐ In 2025 I would like to... ⭐ To do this, I need to... What do you want to work on and how do you plan to get there? My tip is to focus on wellness over resolutions.  Revisit your reply to this post often to make sure you're still going in the right direction. Monitoring your progress is key to creating lasting change!

Take the Leadership New Years Goals Challenge!!
Site Updates / by Heather225
Last post

...See more Hello, leaders (and leaders to be)! As we step into the new year, let’s take a moment to reflect on where we are and where we want to go within our community. This is the perfect time to set goals, inspire each other, and map out the path to personal and collective growth. ( Fun fact: Here on 7 Cups, we set up our goals through what's known as OKRs (Objectives & Key Results). Admins and Ambassadors use this framework to move the needle on our projects. I wrote up a post on what OKRs are along with working examples here! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/HsHangout_1970/CommunityLessonsWhatareOKRsExercise_304480/] If your eventual goal is to become an Ambassador, you'll master OKRs (also a relevant skill in the professional world! ) Today, I'd like to call on all of you leaders AND aspiring leaders (adults and teens alike) to challenge each of you to think of what you’d like to accomplish in 2025. Here are some ideas for you to pull from. Pick and choose what makes sense for you and start 🧠⛈️ as you read! 1. Current Role Goals (Existing leadership) * What would you like to accomplish in your current role? (If more than one, list them all separately) * Are there any skills you’d like to develop or projects you’d like to complete? * How do you plan to enhance your contributions to the community in this role? 2. Aspirational Roles (For existing and upcoming leaders!) * Is there a new role or position you’d like to work towards this year? * What excites you about this role, and how can it align with your personal growth? 3. Broader Objectives * Do you have goals that extend beyond your roles? For example: * Supporting a specific initiative * Building a stronger sense of community * Improving personal well-being to stay at your best * Any other goals you might have that will move progress in the 7 Cups community? This exercise will also help you organize your thoughts and manage your time. Remember: 🔴 You cannot pour from an empty cup! We strongly recommend not taking on any more than 3 roles at a time. 🔴 You can leave a role at any given time for any given reason. That’s the freedom of volunteering. (Just be sure to communicate with your respective team lead and try to give advance notice. It’s considerate and gives them time to find coverage if it’s needed!). 🔴 You’re encouraged to explore, try on different things, learn new skills, and grow through leadership here. Feel free to share your goals in the comments! By sharing, we can hold each other accountable, celebrate milestones, and provide support to help everyone succeed. - So where do I find out what roles are out there?
