Course 3, Discussion 4: One Key Metric

@FrenchToastClub

✒️ Work with your team or mentor and identify the key metric you are hoping to help move. Post daily (or the cadence that makes sense) in the 3 key things thread to highlight what you are doing to help us move 7 Cups forward. Please post here why this goal of choosing a single metric is important. Think of how this is important in your professional life, but also how this can help you personally as well.

I'm part of the Needs Reply Team, hence our key metric is to ensure everyone feels listened to in the forums. It is important when identifying a metric that it is measurable and we understand what the end intention is. This can help in my professional life, as they will help me 'manage by fact', and achieve goals faster by having the right strategies in place.

It is difficult to measure now many Needs Replies are completed and if this is the key metric, I'll speak about this with my leader to see if we are able to measure the performance in a easier way.

✒️ (TW: themes that deal with death) Read chapter 12 of our Searching Soul book and do the exercise where you imagine it is the end of your life. If comfortable, post what you imagine people saying to you at the conclusion of the exercise. If comfortable, then please share how the exercise impacted you. What you imagine them telling you is your compass. If you are acting in a way that is consistent with what they are saying, then it is very likely that you will end up living a meaningful life. Remember to listen to and follow this compass so as not to be distracted by the clock.

Completed but would rather not share my answer.

✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words!

I will do it when a peer appears!

@LlamaLizz

I'm a room supporter (Depression room support), a part of Safety patrol and needs reply team. I'm trying to provide as much time as I can supporting people and keeping the site safe. Also, this gives me a sense of responsibility that I've upon each individual.

At the end, I want to be recognized by the dreams (aims that i've set) that I wanna fulfill. So I guess I don't really have time to waste it on things that's not productive or is a service.

If it was the end of my life, I guess people would say, they were sad at my passing, they would say I was a nice person, good friend and a family man. Honest and reliable

because focusing on one over all goal will help you stay focused

I'm part of the chatroom moderator group in TCR. Our key metric is to keep a safe and fun environment in there. This is important in my personal life because it gives me a sense of accomplishment. When I joined 7cups as a member, I saw the moderators uh... modding, seeing how hard they worked to help us... I knew I wanted to do that.

I did it.... but I'm not comfortable sharing...

@CallumCares421 Hello, I have appreciated reading your thoughtful responses on these leadership development posts. I am glad that you found a role that you admired and saw others doing well, and that you were able to join their team in that work.

I also want to applaud you for saying that you did not feel comfortable sharing on that last question. I was not expecting it to get so deep, and that can be a very difficult topic to share with others. (FWIW My answer below is in very general terms, not specifics.)

@CallumCares421 Thank you for all you do to contribute to the platform. You are amazing and very much appreciated! <3

@CallumCares421

Very lovely answer.

@CallumCares421

I'm glad you can serve in a role that you admired!

I am learning how to serve as a forum supporter, so the key metric I am currently working on is to be sure that every forum post has a thoughtful reply, preferably within 24 hours (or less).

Having goals and key metrics is important because it gives us something to work towards. Without a clear path forward, it is hard to quantify what we are doing, or measure any results. Once we accomplish that first thing, then we can move on to implement another thing, and so on. Then, hopefully it can create a snowball effect of positive change!

Wow, what a crucial and sobering reminder. The things I imagine others saying about me are the things I am striving to implement into my life daily, so hopefully my life will be meaningful and impactful to others.

@purplelady568 I felt that your answers are genuine and great!

I am a member of Peer Appreciation team. Here, the key metric is to make our peers feel happy and appreciated. It is indeed important as it makes us realise our primary goal and what we should do to achieve it. It helps me to become a good leader as well as helps me become a better person.

I posted my 3 key things that I am doing to move 7cups forward on the appropriate thread. Please click on that to read my response. I do not want to be repetitive here but I am currently a forum supporter for P&G and love being apart of a team. I engage and interact a lot with the community to get my name out there. I am also a smile spreader for the peer appreciation program and that is a role that I take great pride in. It is my "job" to spread kindness and love and smiles! And not to toot my own horn, but I do that well. It brings me so much joy.

@YourCaringConfidant

I appreciate the way u mentioned saying it's your job to spread kindness, love, and smiles. Can you add some candies 🤩

I'm okay with sharing. While i was picturing my eyes almost teared. I can see no much people. Im not judging my people but i think i might know what they speak at my funeral. I'm glad my deceased dog was walking with me in my vision.

@BenittaJ I like your way of thinking 😊

@BenittaJ
I'm proud of you for feeling comfortable sharing such an intimate exercise. I know you didn't share specifics but it means a lot that you at least included your dog staying by your side. Our animals are important, and I hope I get to see all of mine when I leave this world.

I work on the Anonymous Evaluations team. Our key metric is to make sure the community of listeners is at it's best quality for our members. This goal is important because members need the best support they can possibly get with our team of listeners here. It can be hard to sort through every single listener but it's also helpful to have this system in place as a safety net. Checking myself and thinking twice before I do something can be very helpful in any situation

@JasmineFlower222 Oh another AE member with me 😊

And I agree with you that the quality is most important.

I have a few roles, Quality Mentor, Anonymous Evaluation Team Member, Safety Patrol Team Member and Chat Support. When I think about this, primary and common goal about all these roles are maintaining quality and safe atmosphere in this platform. And thanks to this post now I understand why I'm drawn to these roles. Thank you.

I thought twice, and I have mixed feelings about sharing it on a public platform. Because something I can share something I can't. So I'd like to keep it myself at least for now.

@iPHOENIX

Thanks for helping community as a good leader!

That's a lot of roles. Real awesome!

I am a peer supporter. I think Key metric of the role is supporting listeners after a hard chats. As a peer supporter, providing warm and welcoming place to vent , validating their emotions, reminding them of their value and guiding them to focus on self care is important. In personal life it helps to develop my listening skills and become a better listener and person which is helpful to the society.

I have done it. But i would rather like to keep my thoughts with myself.

@Tobedoctor

I think that those goals are really important as well. Thanks for your support as a peer supporter!

I'm a Listener Chat Room Supporter. One metric is helping listeners feel supported to lessen burnout. It's important to have a metric because that sharpens your focus and cuts out the nonsense so your aim can be achieved.

I am currently in the Peer Appreciation Team, but when I achieve 25+ listener group chats I am going to apply for Listener Chatroom Supporter! Looking forward to that.

But one metric in Peer Appreciation Team is to make kind and positive posts about other community members, to bring some joy and sunshine into their days. We have agreed that every team member should make at least two posts a week to the forum thread. It's very important to have a metric because that brings focus so your aim can be achieved.

I completed the task but unfortunately, I am not comfortable sharing my reply. Got really emotional with this task.

@Trintzu

That is fair enough; it shouldn't be a task mainly because of how triggering it can be. But obviously, it won't get changed; if you need support, please ensure that you reach out to Peer Support. I'm sorry that the leaders' actions here have caused you to feel so negative.

@Trintzu

good luck with lrs when u get there

@Waterfallsofnature36 I got it! <3

1. I develop dashboards for multiple teams; this allows my teams to track progress and highlight where we could enhance our skills.
2. I run weekly Peer Support discussions to remind our fantastic peer supporters how we can perform to our best
3. I work with the quality side of 7Cups to ensure we build up our skills to make our members feel heard.

I've done this in the past and do not feel comfortable sharing the answers; quite frankly, I don't think this is an appropriate task. But that's just my two cents.
