What is the main message of each chapter?
The main message in chapter 5 (Cultivate your identity) is the importance of badges, rituals and shared languages in promoting the togetherness of a community.
Paying attention to who shows up (chapter 6) elaborates the necessity in keeping track of the returning members and asking for feedback. This is crucial for the proper growth of a community.
How does each chapter apply to 7 Cups?
Cultivating your identity (Chapter 5) applies to 7 cups by promoting a sense of belonging and togetherness.
- For example as a newbie, seeing other newbie badges in group chats helped me feel like I was not alone. It also helped the other chatters address me with kindness and patience.
- Another example of how shared language, culture and badges are crucial in 7 cups is that it creates unity. Sometimes in my free time, I go through profiles and the badges acquired. I smile when I see a badge showing they attended the 5th Cupversary. I once connected and bonded with a listener who attended and got the badge of an event that I attended. It was awesome.
- Abbreviations such as LSR are great examples of shared languages.
Paying attention to who shows up (chapter 6) is relevant to 7 cups in that it shows growth and impact. 7 cups values feedback by providing feedback forms and feedback buttons as in the case of 1-1 chats.
How can YOU help with the aim of each chapter?
I can help promote these 'cultivating your identity' (Chapter 5) culture in 7 cups by honoring the badges.
- For example respecting moderators with the mod badges, welcoming cuppers with the newbie badges and consulting the cuppers with support badges.
- I could also respect the rituals in group chats for example, casual chats pauses when a new person joins... welcoming takes place before resuming.
- I could ask for clarification if I don't understand the shared language and also provide meaning of shared language when asked. For example cuppers.
I can help with the aim of chapter 6 (Paying attention to who shows up) by providing both positive and constructive feedback for the betterment of our community.

I've really enjoyed this course so far! I'm actually surprised by how much I've learnt. I think there are so many important points in there. It's funny because I've noticed a few of these things in real life scenarios when things have gone terribly wrong. For example, I saw a whole group of volunteers disband once when the leader never, ever thanked people for their hard work or acknowledged them. He never admitted to any of his missteps either. These were really passionate people, but their passion for the particular project all just drained away. Interesting!
