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!
Hello, I'm GoldenNest2727. I'm an ENTJ-A. So, yeah, I'm a good leader, I'm self-confident, I'm not easily rattled, and I know what I stand for, but I do have a great deal of empathy for others. I think it just comes across differently. I tend to show I care by jumping right in with problem-solving.
I enjoy hosting gatherings. It's fun to meet new people and chat. I love making sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. So, this is right up my alley. I hope to improve my skills while working through the GLDD program.
Hello, I am RandomAravyre and my INTP-J, I think my greatest strength is in the realms of brain-storming, and I feel like I can probably put this strength to work in this community by thinking of innovative ways to help both our members and listeners :)

Hi Obs and everyone!
I am an INFP - A. The name of my personality type is the mediator and I like to think that this is one of my strengths. I am very non-judgemental and love to hear all sides of any argument or story.
@ASilentObserver
My personality type is Defender-Turbulent (ISFJ-T).
I have an introverted mind.
I mainly direct my energy towards observations more than intuition.
I mainly based my decisions on how I'm feeling.
I approach work, planning, and decision-making through judging rather than prospecting.
I lean towards the more turbulent identity.
Here are all my strengths:
- supportive
- reliable
- observant
- enthusiastic
- hardworking
Additionally, here are all my weaknesses:
- I take things too personally
- I tend to repress my feelings
- I can be reluctant to change
- I may give more than I receive to the point of burnout

Hi everyone! So excited to be able to join in. I'm an INFJ-T!
Hello, @ASilentObserver 😀
I'm INFJ-A (Advocate Personality, OMG!), Type 8 on Enneagram, sage/old man Jungian archetype, a Capricorn sun, and I super love KFC! 😁 I hail from the land of 7,641 islands (when the tide is low); I dunno how many we have when the tide is high. That's math! (It's the Philippines, in case you guys don't know, lol).
I'm an empath with anxiety, a hardcore music lover, a book lion (nope, not a worm, no), a foodie, a traveller, and my mouth can speak faster than my fingers can type. I think I can speak like 200 words per minute as compared to my 88 words per minute for typing, lol!
I am an information hoarder, eternally curious, forever hungry for useless and useful trivia, and just an all-around believer in continuous development as a person and as a human. I also love hugs but because there's still the pandemic, I only hug my trusty Bulbasaur plushy. 🙊
Oh, and did I mention I love KFC? ❤️
Nice to read everyone's responses!
@CosmicMiracle KFC is fantastic, isn't it? Awesome intro! Hope to chat someday! 😊
Hi! My name is Bright, and am really excited to be here! I'm a Turbulent Mediator (INFP-T)
From today's insight in the link profile, it says I'm the one person who sees beauty in imperfection. I agree with this 100%.

Hey!
My personality type is ISFJ-T Turbulent Defender, with Role: Sentinels and Strategy: Constant Defender.
It's crazy to read something that is like reading a book about myself!
I am from the UK and I am a person with a good heart who always wants to help others, and I use to do this regardless of my own wellbeing, nowadays, I have boundaries in place and I am driven to be successful in everything I do, I think GLDD is amazing intervention for me, I aim to be successful in coordination with my dreams, as with 7 cups, my dream is to be a Quality Mentor and Moderator but also be a listener who can connect, help and support others without condemnation of myself, which is still a challenge, the process daunts me but I strive for success so with GDLL, I will be actively engaging in something that interests me and can get me on the path to where I want to be, and I am looking forward to the journey :)
Hello! I'm Olivia, Hope, Hopeful, Bambi, whatever you want to call me. ❤️
I got Mediator, INFP-T
Mind: Introverted
Energy: Intuitive
Nature: Feeling
Tactics: Prospecting
Identity: Turbulent
I believe the one strength from this list that will help me out here is the tactics/prospecting, being more flexible to challenges that come my way.
Hi, I'm Adam. I've been a listener on this site since 2021 and I find it very fulfilling. I'm a ISTJ but I used to be INTP, so I kind of waffle between those two types. I'm excited to do this course.
