Anyone can complete this even if they are not enrolled in any academy program.  Please click on each week to get the link to the chapters and activities, as well as the chapter quizzes. Week One: Chapter 1 & 2 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/1/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Two: Chapter 3 & 4 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekTwoChapter34_222290/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Three: Chapter 5 & 6 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekThreeChapter56_222486/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Four: Chapter 7 & [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFourChapter78_222860/]8 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFourChapter78_222860/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Five: Chapter 9 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFiveChapter9andCourseEvaluationForm_223322/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Evaluation Form [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFiveChapter9andCourseEvaluationForm_223322/] What is this course? It is a learning opportunity based on the teachings of the book ‘Get Together: How to Build a Community with Your People [https://www.amazon.com/Get-Together-build-community-people/dp/1732265194].' The book is written by authors who are experts on community building. We encourage anyone who is interested in community building and management to read the book but it's optional. We have studied the book and summarized the key lessons and their 7 Cups applications. The course will go on for 4 weeks, each week we will look at the findings of two chapters and how the principle knowledge can be applied to 7 Cups. Each week's learning will be accompanied by a quiz to test the knowledge! In order to receive your certificate and the Community Builder badge, you need to complete all quizzes (80% or over-score in all + no copy/pasting for essay questions), and submit the evaluation form. Failure to submit the evaluation form will result in no certificate or badge. Note: Each quiz contains a field where we ask you to apply some of the chapter's teachings. These are essay questions so they are not auto-graded however if a user is found to be copy/pasting the answers to satisfy the word count or not putting in the effort to come up with a relevant answer then the person will not receive a certificate or a badge. This is not a mandatory course so if you choose to take part then please try to study the notes and be honest in your answers. It is the only way to learn! Note:  If you intend to use Artificial Intelligence tools to help you fulfill any of the course’s requirements, you are expected to adhere to our AI policy. You can read it here.

If you don't see a name in the list, that means they are no longer LDP mentor. LDP Mentors who are ACTIVE are colored green, while those who are ON-BREAK are colored red.

Here are the updated options: Option 1:  Getting an honor role  So what tracks comes under honor roles? - Chatroom Mentor - Quality Mentor - Teen Chatroom Mentor - Teen Quality Mentor - Community/Forum Mentor - Support Team Leader - Academy Mentor - SPOT Team Member If you already have these roles, no need to do anything! You will automatically be considered for honors and your certificate will reflect the same. Anyone who comes into the LDP with a leadership role is strongly recommended to look through and apply to become a mentor! Like we know, with great power comes great responsibility. So please only carefully apply for these roles as they do involve serious commitment to the community and the wellbeing of it.  Option 2 - Sharing your testimonial Write a testimonial post/article on Linkedin or Medium about your experience in Leadership Development Program, following the instructions detailed here [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fgWX4hDVfYdadEt2npDCm6dhaebTfbyFCJLjtgw4WTM/edit?usp=sharing]. Reflect on your journey, articulate your growth, and share insights that can inspire others! If you've chosen this option as an elective, you can complete your testimonial on a different platform than your elective. Please note that you cannot use the same post or platform for both your Honors and elective submissions. If you have any questions regarding the elective, please feel free to PM a LDP mentor [https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/LeadershipDevelopmentTrack_2138/LDPMentorsTeam_240813/]! ------------------------- This post is brought to you by the Leadership Development Program Team, find out more information about the program here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/LeadershipDevelopmentTrack_2138/LeadershipDevelopmentProgramUpdatesAnnouncement_230561/].

Course 3, Discussion 4: One Key Metric
by FrenchToast
Last post
 Saturday
...See more It is pretty easy to get knocked off track in life. One way to stay on track is to have a core metric that guides you. If you have a north star that you are working towards, then you know how well you are doing. It is harder to be in denial or to participate in activities that are less helpful in meeting that goal. Please watch this video [https://youtu.be/1IAtvoF_aMk] There are 2 parts to this discussion. ✒️ Work with your team or mentor and identify the key metric you are hoping to help move. Post daily (or the cadence that makes sense) in the 3 key things [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/GlensNookCommunity_547/3KeyThings_212456/1/] thread to highlight what you are doing to help us move 7 Cups forward. Please post here why this goal of choosing a single metric is important. Think of how this is important in your professional life, but also how this can help you personally as well. ✒️ (TW: themes that deal with death) Read chapter 12 of our Searching Soul book [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdatesInformationFortheCommunity_100/Feedback_37/7CupsforthesearchingsoulbookReadandreviewtogetabadge_226942/] and do the exercise where you imagine it is the end of your life. If comfortable, post what you imagine people saying to you at the conclusion of the exercise. If comfortable, then please share how the exercise impacted you. What you imagine them telling you is your compass. If you are acting in a way that is consistent with what they are saying, then it is very likely that you will end up living a meaningful life. Remember to listen to and follow this compass so as not to be distracted by the clock. ✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words! ❗After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/Course3Becominga7CupsLeader_2491/Course3Discussion5DiversityCulturalDifferencesandSecondLanguageLearners_292697/]!

Course 3, Discussion 3: When you don't get the role you want
by FrenchToast
Last post
 Saturday
...See more Hello, students! Let's talk leadership! Many of you have or will apply for certain roles that interest you! And some times we get it and some times we don't! It can be difficult to find out that we didn't get the role, but we can control how we react to it. Here are some DOs and DON'Ts: - DO talk to the leader of the role that you applied for and get some input on what you can/need to do in order to get the role next time! Be aware though most leaders of these roles are busy so give it some time! - DON'T bring the issue into the support rooms. If you are upset, talking to a peer supporter about how you are feeling is ok! - DO take some self-care, self-care is good for any occasion but its best to deal with those feelings of failure or disappointment outside of 7 cups, things like going on your member account can be so helpful to overcome some of these feelings - DON'T think that you are obligated to stay on 7 cups right after finding out bad news, especially if you are in LSR/TL and you see other listeners who have gotten the role that you wanted! It can be hard to deal with and it can cause unneeded jealousy or hurt on your part! Not everyone is like this but if you think that this is a possibility that you can think this way staying away might be a great option! - DON'T take it personally, everyone is ready at different times. It can be hard for us to realize this but just because someone got the role and they might have been here in less or the same amount of time doesn't mean that you personally are ready! Everyone grows and accomplishes things at different times! - DO get a mentor, in general its a good idea to get a mentor but for things like your goals on 7 cups mentors can be great and helpful! They can give you feedback, do mock chats with you, and overall help you with your goals as I said before! - DON'T think you have to apply for every role and every team out there! There is time you don't have to apply for everything! Its super easy to burnout that way, and that can lead to more "rejection" and hurt that none of us want! *Never let not getting a role the first time discourage you! You will be told when you can apply again and use the feedback that you get to better yourself when you can/decide that you are ready to! practice makes perfect none for us are perfect and no one will ever be! Its a good thing to remember no matter your role as a listener your help is greatly appreciated and you are still helping so many people!* ✒️Question: If you find out you were not given a role, how should you respond? What would you say to the leader who has informed you? ✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words! ❗After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/Course3Becominga7CupsLeader_2491/Course3Discussion4OneKeyMetric_292696/]!

Course 3, Discussion 2: Accepting and Providing Feedback
by FrenchToast
Last post
 Saturday
...See more If you prefer a video/audio explanation, please watch this video. * View video here [https://youtu.be/6QupnaPvz4Q] Some reasons why accepting feedback is important: * It helps us improve our craft/skills/ourselves * We become aware of our own short comings. * We can learn how others may perceive us. Reasons why it can be challenging to hear constructive feedback: * We might associate it with who we are as a whole. * We may think the person giving it has lost respect for us. * It can hurt our ego. The choice is yours! Are you willing to deal with discomfort for your greater good? If so then constructive feedback is an essential tool you must utilize. Now let's see how to give feedback! If you prefer a video/audio explanation, please watch this video. * View video here [https://youtu.be/wtl5UrrgU8c] Steps to give useful feedback: * Sandwich it between genuine positive feedback. * Don’t do it too often. Remember a person can only accept so much constructive feedback before it drains them. Use it sparingly. * Ask yourself what you are communicating is beneficial to the person or your own personal preference. Only provide feedback if it will help the person. Let's practice giving constructive feedback. This is the situation. Username: CoffeePerson198 Positive traits: is punctual, responds in under 24 hours, cares about people and is empathetic. Areas of improvement: Is not completing assigned task for 3 weeks, not communicating with you (the leader) why the task is not being completed. ✒️ You are a leader of the team and have been tasked with giving constructive feedback. Please draft a message of no less than two sentences using the sandwich method (praise + constructive feedback + praise). ✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words! ❗After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/Course3Becominga7CupsLeader_2491/Course3Discussion3Whenyoudontgettheroleyouwant_292695/]!

Course 3, Discussion 1: Service Leadership at 7 Cups
by FrenchToast
Last post
 Saturday
...See more The term Service leadership [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servant_leadership] (based on the philosophy of servant leadership, in which the main goal of the leader is to serve). Sometimes leaders or community members who help with projects receive high praise for their efforts (and they all deserve it) but this is never to take away or undermine the contributions of listeners who fly a little bit more under the radar. How one chooses to spend their volunteer time on 7 Cups is up to them & we love you all the same! We've long said that if you want to be a mentor, be a mentor, eventually you'll get a badge. These service leadership roles are incredibly important to the functionality of our community. The individuals in these posts do an excellent job helping to keep our community safe and positive. I am very thankful for them. Service leadership is simply about where you plan to spend your time. To those of you out there who focus 100% on member chats, we LOVE YOU! To those of you out there who focus on community programs, we LOVE YOU TOO! All of these contributions are equally valuable and important. As a collective community, our aim is to honor your contributions, no matter where or how they manifest. In this vein, my hope is that you will remember 3 key things: 1. Self-care - always! Make sure self-care is baked into your volunteer work here 2. Don't take on more than you are able. If you don't have the bandwidth to do something, you owe it to yourself and the community to say no. It is 100% okay to say no. (And if you are asking someone to help you with a project, please do not get upset if someone has to say no.) 3. Remember that 7 Cups is an ecosystem. Every single contribution matters! If you'd like to be in a service leadership role, my advice would be: 1. Pay attention to how others are contributing 2. Figure out what gets you excited in the community! 3. Once you have an idea of what gets you excited, dive in! You dont need to have a mentor badge to help out, get involved & start learning. 4. If you're not sure how to get involved, you can chat with a mentor [https://www.7cups.com/listener/listenerMentors.php] or sign up for listener coaching [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7iMwmOfMPM1KTSjFz3OTPFDOF30agKeBeahUl5cj5f8ahKQ/viewform]. 5. Once you feel comfortable with your area of attention, apply for the appropriate mentor track. ✒️ Question: What do you think of the idea of service leadership? Can you list one example of service leadership you have seen on 7 Cups? ✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words! ❗After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/Course3Becominga7CupsLeader_2491/Course3Discussion2AcceptingandProvidingFeedback_292694/]!
