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!!

Hi, I'm MindfulListener82 and I'm from Seattle, WA 💚💙
✨My personality type is INFP-T "Mediator". The beginning of the summary/description reads:
"Although they may seem quiet or unassuming, Mediators (INFPs) have vibrant, passionate inner lives. Creative and imaginative, they happily lose themselves in daydreams, inventing all sorts of stories and conversations in their minds. These personalities are known for their sensitivity – Mediators can have profound emotional responses to music, art, nature, and the people around them.
Idealistic and empathetic, Mediators long for deep, soulful relationships, and they feel called to help others. But because this personality type makes up such a small portion of the population, Mediators may sometimes feel lonely or invisible, adrift in a world that doesn’t seem to appreciate the traits that make them unique."
*scary accurate 😄
✨Thanks for the opportunity to be part of this community!

Hi There :)
I am starting my GLDD journey today! I am very excited. My personality is INFJ-T. I believe I would be a great addition to Group Support. I, myself, have personal experience with Group and I have found it to be very helpful. I hope to be able to make others feel just as welcome and supported. I try my best to be open-minded and non-judgemental as a listener. Thank you for this opportunity.
hi , i go by the name "light" on the site and i am from Pakistan
My personality type is INTJ ( turbulent )
My biggest strength I believe is my rationality and solution oriented approach. This trait of mine has helped my overcome a lot and its awesome when I get feedbacks from members that my suggestions and approach is helpful for them. Other than that i would like to think of myself as independent and determined
@ASilentObserver, my personality type is a Defender ISFJ-A/ISFJ-T. I am from North America, and my personality type is hard-working, altruistic, imaginative, and loyal. One strength that I think will help me out in becoming an effective group specialist would be my altruistic personality trait. Additionally, I would put the group first instead of myself when it comes to being a group specialist. They are the ones I am leading, and I need to make sure they are good before checking to see if I am good.

Hi everyone! My name is Sakura and I'm from Indonesia. My personality type is INFJ-T
I think my strength that will help me in becoming an effective group specialist is making sure everyone is included. Sometimes in a group, some members might feel left out at discussions and feel like they don't belong. I want to make sure that everyone can have a part in discussions and can truly feel like a member of the group.

Hey all I'm KyleBorg, many of you may of seen me around before in the Newbie Hub related rooms where I moderate, I decided to join the GLDD program as it fits around the roles I serve here on 7Cups. I hope to improve upon group leadership and this was the program suited for me
Personality - Virtuoso (ISTP-T)

Im from the USVI. I have a psychotic disorder. I have been a listener since August 2021. And my main quality is Love. I love to listen to others and have been told that I do not chat a lot. I take this as something important because it sheds light that the chat should be about the members and not myself. This week when I was feeling down a member who I was a listener to said that after chatting with me blessings come into his life, it made me smile.

Hey I am Reem According to the test I am a Logician INTP-T. I think one way I can improve is surrounding myself in more group settings. One of my strengths is I am open-minded, which allows me to learn more. One of my weaknesses is that I am disconnected meaning that I get lost in my own thoughts.
my personality is ISTP-A / ISTP-T. I don't think i have any good qualities to be a leader i am worried that i will not be able to pass the course, i've never been a leader before and i also don't get invited to groups or parties. I just really want to become a group leader on 7cups i wish that i wasn't like i was and then i could do it but now i dont know if i can.
