Weekly Checkin- Feb 08
Hello Group Leader Trainees! Welcome to a new week!
How is it going? I was reviewing the activity of all trainees and found a bunch of us have to work on many parts of the course like participating in the forum discussions, setting appreciation corner, submitting weekly progress form, and participating in group chat rooms of the focused track. So, I advise all to please go through the checklist you have (the one you received in the acceptance email) and ensure all are on track with their learning. If you have any queries, questions, thoughts, problems, then please feel free to send me a message here or drop me an email. I will be glad to support and assist you in your learning journey.
On that note, let's do a quick check-in
- Share your top 3 wins/accomplishments under the program
- Share one unusual observation you did in the chatroom during participation
- One thing that I could do better to support you in your learning journey
Also, please welcome @Azalea98 who is our first Academy Teen Star for the GLDD program. She will be helping me in running the program. Also, @sher217 & @gozzil became group mentors while @Colorfulcatsofhope became room supporter. Congratulations to them. I look forward to seeing you all grow into group leaders. I look forward to hearing from you all. Let's take good care of group chat rooms this week. Thank you for being with us!

2. Became a peer supporter
3. Became more involved in the group support chatrooms and 7 cups in general
Share one unusual observation you did in the chatroom during participation
One unusual observation I did in the chatroom during participation was that I noticed that many members say things like "I'll switch to my L" (L meaning Listener account) then they come in with a listener account which is directly identical with their member account, simular username, same profile picture. This compromises both accounts.. I don't think everyone is aware of the rules as they should be. Even if some are, they still tend to 'forget' them. And that gives others the idea that it's okay to do, then that starts a cycle of rule breaking without being aware it's breaking the rules.
One thing that I could do better to support you in your learning journey
My learning journey I feel is being supported enough, very well! :)

- Share your top 3 wins/accomplishments under the program
- My #1 win that I will carry away from this program will be my Appreciation Corner. I would not have thought to create such an area on my own. I've used that space to shine a spot light on people who deserve recognition (not for winning an award or for being in a role) but for simply GIVING their time, talents, compassion and knowledge to any and every one here on Cups.
- My #2 win is what all that I have learned about the dynamics within groups, as well as within leadership on Cups.
- My #3 win is that GLDD is the first learning program that I have been involved with here. I will use it as the guide for which I measure any future learning programs against.
- Share one unusual observation you did in the chatroom during participation
- Interesting question! I think one thing that I've noticed (and still has me shaking my head in wonder at) is in the Listener Support Room.
- Upon entering, there are many participants listed as being present. A few will offer greetings and ask "How are you?"
- After a few minutes of 'small talk', there appears to only be 3 or 4 people present and responding.
- If a 'newbie' enters the room and asks "Where can I find ...?", then all of the sudden there are 10 people posting links, lol.
- This is something that has made me chuckle to watch happen during my time in the room.
- Interesting question! I think one thing that I've noticed (and still has me shaking my head in wonder at) is in the Listener Support Room.
- One thing that I could do better to support you in your learning journey
- First, I would like to give you credit for what you have done to support me.
- I appreciate the Welcome & Information packet that you provided when we join the program. You had the forethought to provide pretty much all that would be needed in order to complete the program.
- When questions arose about certain requirements to complete the program, you quickly reached out and let us know of the change to the new standard and what would be required there as well.
- You have responded to ALL of my many emails, which I appreciate.
- One thing that I feel could be done to offer additional support is a post added in the GLDD Training Forum Area with information about completing the program and the graduation process.
- For example, the post could answer such possible questions that people may have, such as:
- How can I make sure that I have met all of my hours needed to graduate?
- How do I know if I passed my Project section of the program?
- My 6 weeks have passed. Do I still need to do weekly progress forms?
- How do I know if I passed the program and how do I graduate?
- For example, the post could answer such possible questions that people may have, such as:
- First, I would like to give you credit for what you have done to support me.
Well, looking back at this message, I didn't realize that I took up so much time and space to answer your questions. These are just my thoughts, ideas and suggestions. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share them with you and everyone else in the program tag.
