GLDD: Introduce yourself here!
Welcome to Group Leadership Dynamics & Development Program!
I am excited and glad to have you with us. We are here with you to provide all support and guidance during your learning journey. This has been something we believe helps you get a better understanding of group dynamics. Please find the course description below.
It focuses on the communication and leadership behavior of individuals within group structures. The theoretical and practical knowledge are used to explore the stages of group development, decision-making techniques, group dynamics, group problem and solving, group leadership skills, cultural sensitivity, norms, and interpersonal dynamics within groups.
Please also introduce yourself and let us (if you are comfortable) where you are from and your personality type.
If you do not know your personality type, you can take a quiz here to know it! Share the one strength that you think will help you out in becoming an effective group specialist.
Please remember, you are unique and have personal strengths and gifts that set you apart from others but you can utilize them to gather all and support them in a unique way that others might not even imagine of. You have that strength and personal gift. All you need to identify, acknowledge, amplify, and deliberately use them every day to strengthen yourself to provide support and strength to others.
It will not only allow you to successfully complete this program but also help you to progress and grow on your personal and professional fronts too. You are taking a significant step towards learning and creating a difference.
Best wishes for your learning journey!!
Please note: In order to successfully complete the program, you must respond to this post. Your comment/response should answer the questions/show that you completed the given activity (if any). Start your learning journey with Discussion 01: Introduction to Group Support, then check here!

Hi Obs,
I'm Kristen from the Midwest in the US.
My greatest strengths as an INFJ would be my advocacy, empathy and passion. I have a mission to help people and it is a purpose I live for, and while I like to regenerate by myself, I love group work. So group leadership is definitely a great match for me.
This will help me to be a good group leader because I can put myself in others shoes even if I've not been in a similar situation, and I have a passion for helping and offering opportunities for healing. Offering group options and support fits great with this. Being able to support listeners providing support and advocacy is a great opportunity.

hello! I’m Kristynsmama, otherwise known as Kristy. I’ve been a listener off and on since 2014. I’m looking forward to growing in the area of group support with the help of this course.
Unfortunately, the test always gives a different result. I have been volunteering here since last year. I like to help others, and I consider myself empathetic.
