@Hope

✒️To help make it more real, in this post, please highlight the 3 most important things you learned from our guide and why they are important to you.

The 3 most important things I have learned from the guide are:

1. Expect Failure, this is an important but also can be demoralising. Turn failure into a new opportunity to learn and become better.

2. Try Hard, this part of the guide mentioned the importance of practising, and feeling positive at the end of the day when you reflect back on everything you completed.

3. Collaborate, this along with team work is very important for a community to succeed. Working together and using everyones strengths can boost productivity.

Completed tasks 1-4 :)

@LunaHere

Understnding and accepting failiures will make us try hard, I think it's really great to know ourselves and look at inside sometimes. and the course does that to me. Hope you had a wonderful time with LDP too :)

@iPHOENIX I agree these are all good things to learn

Never give up keep trying to improve

take every failure and every success and learn from it

if in doubt always seek, advice from someone who knows

I learned

1. Knowing myself well and knowing what is right for me

2. Good planning of priorities in my life so that I can be well and be able to support others

3. To appreciate the task that I am doing and know it well before I undertake it to know whether it is suitable for me and whether I can excel at it or not.

1. Trust. We trust you, you trust us. I absolutely love this, because it can be extremely rewarding when that cycle is working.
2. Collaboration. I like being able to work with people on certain issues and it’s nice to have people for support.
3. Self-efficacy. I do like the reward system and it helps us keep going!

@TheFantasticPengua Wonderful answers :)

My work matters: My work- OUR work saves people's lives... it is an honour to do so.

Failure is okay: To be technical- you don't fail until you stop trying, so as long as you keep trying, you haven't failed.

Take care of yourself: You can't fill someone else's cup if yours is empty.

@CallumCares421

Great answers!

@CallumCares421 excellent answers. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

@CallumCares421 The first one about our working saving the lives of others is soooo profound and so true. Sometimes we do not think we are making a difference but the truth is, we are... I want you to know that everything you do is important and you matter! Continue to succeed and keep on making an impact in the lives of others.

@CallumCares421

This is so wholesome! Cheers!

I’ve learned a lot about my personality. I’ve also learned about avoiding burn out and setting up a system.

@NanditaB

Yes I totally agree with you! Great answers!

@NanditaB I'm glad you are learning more about.yourself.

That is an important part of this leadership process.

@Hope

Top 3 things I learned-

1. "Expect failure". I appreciate that no one is expected to be perfect, that it is understood we all make mistakes and have room for improvement!

2. 7cups likes to "solve problems that matter". I also appreciate that this is primarily a free platform for people who are struggling with mental health issues and difficult life circumstances. I like that 7 cups can be accessed by anyone from virtually anywhere. However, listeners are limited in what we can say/do, especially in a crisis situation. So, as individuals, I am not sure that we can solve big important problems that really matter. However, collectively, I recognize that we are doing a good thing.

3. Collaboration. This is an important concept for any organization. Some of the interactions I've had on 7cups have been extremely superficial or seemed false/ungenuine. Other interactions have been amazing, and sparked deep, meaningful ongoing conversations. It is crucial that we continue to collaborate here, so that no one feels alone, overworked or overwhelemed.

@purplelady568

and so we meet again my friend <3 these are great things to learn <3 i hope your journey is going well :3

@purplelady568

I truly appreciate that you highlighted how important these things are. especially the 2nd one, "solves problems that matter". This platform has come up with such wonderful training and systems and educating us about mental health. 💖

1. Expect Failure

We all make mistakes but we learn by them. They are like lessons in life and we are improving by making them.

2. Take care of yourself:

We need self care and self love. If we don't believe and love ourself, we cannot give love to others.

3. Collaboration:

Wonderful team work on 7cups is just perfect, to be able to solve problems together make this a safe place for everyone.

هذا هو good and great

1. My work matters

I help everyone who may chat with me on this website. Just talking with someone can give a person hope and the will to go on. Not only am I helping them I'm helping the people that care about them to. That is a priceless act of kindness.

2. Failure is okay sometimes

No one is perfect. Sometimes you may mess up or say the wrong thing and that's alright. Get back up and try until you finally get it right.

3. Collaboration

Everyone here at cups is a team. We all come together to help people in need no matter who they are.

@JasmineFlower222 these are great points to keep in mind! Nice reflections.

@JasmineFlower222

Spoken like a champ!!

@JasmineFlower222 Great reply I love your response

trust. it's important because you need to trust people to be able to help them

High Expectations. important because you need expectations so you know what needs doing.

Take Care of Yourself- important cause you cant help others if you don't take care of yourself

Caring for People with Fewer Financial Resources

This is a great value because in today's society too many are denied help due to lack of money. This is inhumane and untenable. It's great that we're taking a stand to address this.

Everything I read in the guide is important but these 3 things I find to be the most important:

1. Take Care of Yourself - Everyone matters and self care is soooo important. By caring for ourselves we are in a better position to care for others. If we care for others too often without a break then we can experience burnout and that would not be good. We are all important and it is ok to take much needed breaks.

2. We Believe in Equality - Just what it says. All life is valuable and I, wholeheartedly, agree with this!

3. Accountability - Being accountable shows that you can be counted on and people can rely on you. We need to all be accountable for our actions and words as they are very powerful. I try to be accountable to my person and others because I know that people depend on me so I try to be my best self.

Take care of yourself ❤️

I definitely think that, focus, discipline and accountability is most important and I don't know why I kinda really want to keep studying and implement it in my life now more than ever. I think it's something that'll define you and in this way I can achieve my true potential and be best at my strength.

If point out 3 important things,

1. Accountability

2. Try hard

3. Take care of yourself

@iPHOENIX I agree with your words a lot. :)) Have a great days ahead!

top 3 things i learned :

trust - We want to trust you and we want you to be able to trust us.

just how big of a thing im apart of <3 - 7 Cups is the largest mental health system in the world. This isn’t an exaggeration. Your work saves lives.

collaboration is key :D - Helping others problem solve will help you to be more successful at 7 Cups.

@Jefferythebunny319

Those are indeed some great factors to learn about from the guide 🍀

@Hope

To help make it more real, in this post, please highlight the 3 most important things you learned from our guide and why they are important to you.

1. Trust:
Trust is the key. Trust helps us grow together and enables us to rely on each other.
2. High Expectations & High Warmth:
The community has high expectations from us that enables us to contribute to the community efficiently. Also, the community provides us with high warmth in exchange to keep us engaged, making us feel appreciated, and helping us avoid burnout.
3. Friendliness and Conscientiousness:
As the community deeply values trust and warmth (friendliness), it expects us to fulfill our roles efficiently and thoroughly while offering good-quality performance.

I believe that these 3 factors are equally proportional to each other. 🍀

One thing I learned from this guide is that our personality influences our leadership styles. Doing the tests you provided us allows us insight into ourselves and explores what things we could work on to enhance our leadership.

It is also a great reminder to focus on ourselves to reduce the impact of burnout, it happens to everyone but if we're there for one another, we can almost cushion the pain and be there for one another.

I also really liked the idea of working on a system and modifying this to ensure we're getting the best of it rather than goals that get done and forgotten about.

@FrenchMarbles

You got Great answers !

Trust - trust is the base of any relationship. It's great to know that community trust us and we can trust community. It's really encouraging and appreciated. Giving opportunity to improve the leadership qualities through this program is really good example for community's trust on us.

Friendliness and Conscientiousness

Since this factor improve trust among community and us, it's really important. It's really motivate us to do things as best we can.

Try Hard

Since every role in the community is important and it can make someone's life better it's important to try hard to do our best. And 7 cups have given so many opportunities to improve our skills it's really great factor.

Overall i really appreciate 7 cup's culture!

@Tobedoctor Well said! ❤️

@Tobedoctor

those are some really good points to follow.

good luck with the ldp.
