Needs Reply Communication Thread (updated)
by bookworm274
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more Hi team, as you hopefully know, we usually communicate via the needs reply communication thread here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsLeadership_188/TheNeedsReplyTeamProject_781/needsreplyteamcommunicationthread_227761/], but we have decided to create a new communication thread to keep updated, to keep everything in one place and to also remind everyone of expectations of the team. This also allows new members of the team to refer to this original post for the information needed. Bi-weekly check ins are going to be posted in this thread from now on. When these are posted, please do respond as these are posted to make sure that you are okay, and that you're still active. This will also be a reminder to fill out the tracking form (click here) [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZkxLDwFrEY4RRDDp0cm4_GHpdgkKjpckEFMXyDvxwmE/edit] so that we can ensure activity from team members and to keep track of the Needs Reply teams progress! There is more information about the form here. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsLeadership_188/TheNeedsReplyTeamProject_781/NeedsReplyTrackingForm_254884/] The monthly quota for those on the NR team is 10 responses to needs reply posts (not forum posts in general) - if you are unclear of what this means then please refer to the needs reply queue here [https://www.7cups.com/home/#needsreply] or you can ask me. As many of you have hopefully seen, changes are being made to the offboarding process which Cheery has made a post about here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/HelpWanted_188/TheNeedsReplyTeamProject_781/NeedsReplyTeamOffboardingPolicy_298409/]- please do make sure to look at this as this is the process we will be following from now on. If you have any questions about it please do write them on the post, message @CheeryMango or myself. It is important to make sure that members of the team respond effectively to the posts. It is important that all members of the team read this post [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsLeadership_188/TheNeedsReplyTeamProject_781/EffectiveReplying_286362/] on effective responding. If you are new to the team please do read and respond, and if you are not new to the team feel free to refresh back whenever you feel you need a refresher on effective responding or to look at it if you haven't yet - thank you!

7 Cups Leadership Guidelines
by Heather225
Last post
 Wednesday
...See more Thank you for being a leader on 7 Cups! Community leaders are a significant part of our community. In stepping into a leadership role with 7 Cups, you have agreed that you align with our values and wish to uphold our mission. You have the ability to inform and influence our community members. So, it is important to lead by example and be a role model to inspire others to aspire to be someone like you to extend the support to others. In addition to the community guidelines, rules, and policies [https://www.7cups.com/about/communityGuidelines.php] currently in place, we are including a list of reminders, as well as one new rule. ➡ As a community leader, you may be provided with confidential information to perform your work on a team or a project. Use this knowledge for its intended purpose only. In other words, please do not abuse your privileges. We trust you to be responsible and maintain confidentiality. ➡. Refrain from engaging in triangulation. This is a very common mistake people make without even realizing it's happening. Triangulation manifests itself in our community as one person who will not communicate directly with another person, and instead use a third person to relay communication to the second, thus forming a triangle. Triangulation is damaging because it interferes with healthy conflict-resolution and lends itself to rumor spreading by taking a private situation between two users and exposing it to more people. Read more about this and take the Triangulation Pledge. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerCommunityampSiteUpdates_38/LaurasOffice_169/WhatisTriangulation3StepstoAvoidingStoppingitfromhappeninginthecommunity_35107/1/] ➡. Community leaders must maintain strong boundaries. Being a role model, and a trustworthy and reliable leader, users may become dependent on you. To nurture healthy relationships with the community, it's imperative that you set boundaries for yourself and respect those of others. ➡. Community leaders accept feedback gracefully. Getting feedback can be hard to hear, especially if it's more of a constructive criticism than a praise. Leaders should be able to accept feedback gracefully if given constructively. We all are human and all have things to work on and grow. ➡ Please honor and follow our social media policies (i.e. no off-site contact with community members). 7 Cups is a safe environment for you to build and create connections. We love that you are building supportive relationships with each other and enjoy connecting! In order to preserve this safe space, we ask you not to solicit off-site contact. Also bear in mind, once you take interactions off 7 Cups, we are unable to assist you in the event something happens outside of our site. ➡ Reporting is our responsibility. You are the eyes of our community. We have several ways to report incidents that cover all areas of the site, and we rely on you to direct users to those channels. We also rely on you to use them as well. As the slogan goes: if you see something, say something. ➡ We respect your right to use whatever sites you'd like. However, since we launched, we have discovered that some of our leaders have also been working with non-crisis sites that are similar to 7 Cups. We are all for competition, but we want the intention behind it to be solving broader emotional health challenges. We don't want the competition to be a negative interaction between companies. To protect our community and its ongoing progress, we ask that if you would like to pursue leadership with us that you do not affiliate yourself in leadership positions with non-crisis sites similar to 7 Cups. (When I say similar sites, I am referring to any site that offers the same services as us. This would not include therapists, AA, NAMI, and assistance programs that share our broad goal to provide support in the healthcare industry but are not set up to operate like we do. They all offer different components that work in tandem with us.) Leaders: please reply below if you have read and understood these rules! If you have any questions, you may PM anyone on the community team (@Hope, @ASilentObserver, myself).
🌟 Rising Star Program - 2024
by tommy
Last post
 December 15th, 2023
...See more Very exciting news today as I have the privilege of reintroducing the new and improved Rising Star Program! 🌟 What is the Rising Star Program? The Rising Star initiative aims to reach users who have got the enthusiasm for giving more to 7 Cups. It is created to help identify potential, guide people toward opportunities they may not know exist, and mentor those who don’t know how or where to start. We’re looking to recognise potential at all levels, whether you’re nominating a fantastic listener who is not yet verified, you have identified a potential Project Agent, or you want some help to find the perfect leadership role for yourself. There are no limits as to who you can nominate or what you can nominate them for. We are here to support you and help be part of your 7 Cups leadership journey. As a thank you gesture, we will be awarding 150 cheers (listeners) / 150 growth points (members) to anyone who nominates an individual through this program. 🌟 What is the criteria to become a Rising Star? We are ultimately looking for leaders who demonstrate kindness, approachability and a willingness to make a difference. Nominated individuals should also be passionate about 7 Cups and the work that we do here. 🌟 Who can nominate and who can be nominated? Anyone! There are no restrictions as to who can nominate or be nominated. You can also self-nominate or use the form to get support on finding a suitable leadership role for yourself. 🌟 How many roles can I nominate someone for? Every individual can be nominated for up to three roles. We do however recommend that the nominator thinks carefully about each role to ensure it is a good fit; our intention is to give an opportunity to these talented people without making them feel overwhelmed. You can find a list of our roles here [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10oh0pBR1rt9C6tMAhRvjF1TfgAEHbyDQyimizN4hdfU/edit#slide=id.g8aabae01b3_1_5]. 🌟 What is the process of the selection? We will be reaching out to the nominees on your behalf and will invite them to be our Rising Stars. If they meet the criteria of a role, they can be onboarded in the role. But if they do not meet any or all criteria of a role, an action plan and trial will be formed with the relevant project leader so that they are able to adequately meet the requirements whilst in the role. 🌟 I’d really like to help with the Rising Star project! We are currently looking for support with outreaching for potential Rising Stars through direct messages and discussions (AMAs). If this is something you are interested in then please private message tommy [http://www.7cups.com/@tommy]. 🌟 Points of Contact Rising Star Ambassador: tommy [http://www.7cups.com/@tommy] ✨ Click here to nominate! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSea_ptdrU64v-09zeHz0bGGDbMOzOQWNktDJWR0xxcEcCKo2A/viewform] ✨ ------------------------- Psst... once processed all Rising Stars are announced in this thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/CommunityProjectsthingstogetinvolvedin_745/RisingStarAnnouncements_309917/?post=3325216]!
