Inner Development Goals Course
Some of you may be familiar with Inner Development Goals (IDGs). The Inner Development Goals provide an essential framework of transformative skills for sustainable development. The current IDGs framework represents 5 dimensions and 23 skills and qualities. They promote human inner growth and development. This is in alignment with our community values and goals.
We have created a course based on the IDG framework. The course covers all 23 skills/qualities that can aid inner growth and development. You can think of it as a walkthrough of all the skills you can develop or improve to help you lead a productive and fulfilling life along with becoming more equipped to contribute to your favorite communities.
The course is called ‘Inner Development Goals’ and it is available to all users of our community, members and listeners alike! To make it easy to follow along, we have used a growth path format where you can take a few steps whenever you have time and make progress! You can then revise the course guide and submit the course quiz when you are confident that you have acquired the underlying knowledge. All the course-related content is conveniently linked to the growth path!

This sounds really interesting. Checking out now yay! Thank y'all for continuously bringing such awesome things to the table!💗
This is such a valuable course for everyone at any step in their lives. I'm excited to see our community utilize it and the collective expansion of skillset we'll see from it! If you're reading this, I highly recommend giving it some of your time!
I had a great insightful time learning about the IDGs and reflecting on how many mental health outcomes were also directly impacted by practicing them. I look forward to everyone's feedback and journey in exploring and practically putting these goals into action ✨
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Congratulations, Soul on this great achievement! This is so comprehensive, covering all aspects of improving our lives! It must have taken a huge lot of work!
It also shows your commitment to understanding and putting into practice the elements of "a good life" as taught by many spiritual traditions, philosophis, and most recently CBT and Positive Psychology, among others.
I like the approach of "expanding the good" as complementary to our typical work here of dealing with what's challenging in our lives. Sometimes a great way to deal with what is problematic is to expand what is well in ourselves, so as to strengthen our capabilities to deal with what's challenging, and also signal that we are not just our problems, that we can grow and improve, and our issues become a smaller part of ourselves.
It is a very generous gift from 7 Cups that this Course is open to all Members as well as Listeners in a self-paced, easy-to-do manner. We all can take advantage of improving our skills, capabilities and abilities in all areas of our lives.
I have started this course. I want to improve in all the topics and areas shown in the infographic.
And I hope that many Members and Listeners benefit from this course.
Thank you very much for this opportunity!
@HealingTalk thank you for your reflections - you share our goals for this course very well. I look forward to your feedback.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Thank you so much, Soul!
I will do the course and share my thoughts along the way.
You are amazing dear 7 Cups team and community! 😍As head of research co-creation at the Inner Development Goals - this course and 7 cups ability to bring it around the globe is just so valuable! At present we are also engaged in a global listeing excercise - as listening to the voices, ideas and opinions of others may be among the core set of skills for sustainable transformation in your daily life and across your neighbourhood, city, region, country and across the whole of the world. Please join the 4000 people across 100 countries who have already shared their wisdom about the IDGs through our 1 question survey and please make sure you send this widely into your network as widely as you can! You find the survey, media kit and more info @innerdevelopmentgoals.org
@ambitiousSugar7989 great to have you on 7 Cups! We are very happy to support the IDG efforts. 7 Cups is made up of amazing people that are all working on personal growth and service in one way or another. Working alongside you and your team will help us collectively lift up inner growth and transformation.
Also, for the community, this is Fredrik Lindencrona. A very smart, innovative, and interesting researcher and psychologist that deeply understands systems thinking. He helped me better understand how 7 Cups can be seen as a commons property resource (like a national park or community garden). Welcome to 7 Cups Fredrik!

This is a great addition to the Academy's portfolio of Programs and Courses, very much in line with the self-improvement and growth mindset that 7 Cups promotes.
I hope that many members of this Community benefit from such a generous gift, that might be life-changing for many.
May this course improve many lives, and help many people flourish in all dimensions of their lives!
@Hope @SoulfullyAButterfly
I can't see the quiz, it says that it is only available to users of the organization. I think the settings should be modified so that they are visible to all users.
@Reggaetonn I think this is fixed now. Can you take a quick look and let us know? Thank you!
@GlenM
Yes, It is fixed :)
Thanks no needed 😎
@Hope
i love it and very interested in it ….🙌🙌🙌💕💕
