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!

@Hope
I've been wanting to take this course but not replace the growth path I'm on. Is that at all possible?
You can take it or some steps and then switch back if that is helpful.
@hope
thank you for telling me about this course! I think it’s fantastic!
@Hope
Unfortunately writing is one of my worse skills. I simply have trouble translating ideas to words. Otherwise this looks good to me.
@Gettingbettertoday
I have seen your contributions in our forum spaces and I believe you are not giving yourself enough credit! The course is not very focused on writing, it is mostly learning the knowledge presented and when writing is required, as the course is not testing your writing skills, your best will suffice. Even so, we are here to help!
@Hope
I am doing it but i am already stuck on the 4th or 5th step.
In the box below, share your reflections regarding what Ikigai means to you and what your purpose is.
I only know one of the four inputs for sure. My Strengths. The other 3 are just guesses. And yes I know one of them is "What do you love?".
@Hope
It is really interesting Thank you
I don't like to be that guy but...
"Visioning" is not a word.
@slowdecline48 Well let us be pioneers
@Maslow 🤷🏼♂️ People will make up words regardless of my opinion about it. I'm one of those retro people who finds 20th-century English to be more clear, concise, slightly less deceptive (at times) & overall much better than the swiftly mutating Internet lingo so common today.
@Hope
Thank you for telling me more about what the IDG course is and how I can get there. I believe that this course is valuable for anyone that wants to further their journey. I know for me it will help me on becoming a better listener to our members on 7 cups.
@Hope
😍👌
@Hope
I just completed this path and the required steps to hopefully complete the whole course. I am glad I found this course and had the chance to go through it. I found the whole course thought provoking, insightful and eye opening. :)
@Hope I'm starting this course now. I'm looking forward to it.
@TheGirlWhoFeltTooMuch
You will definitely like the course
@Hope
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!
