...See more Hi everyone! Welcome to the final course of the Leadership Development Program. Do note that this course also serves as an elective for other academy programs so you are in the right place even if you are not an LDP trainee. 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.

...See more NOTE: Please don't post to this thread. Subscribe to this thread and you will get a notification when we update this thread. Hey there! Here is a list of all the Leadership Development Program (LDP) mentors that we will regularly update. You can check here to see who is available for what leadership role and what coursework role. You can reach out to them during your LDP journey for any questions accordingly. At 7cups we encourage breaks, as self-care is a priority, therefore from time to time our LDP Mentors go on breaks, so this post will keep you up to date with these changes. 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. If a mentor is marked green and they do not respond to you within 3 days, please let me [http://www.7cups.com/@FrenchToastClub] know. All of our active LDP mentors are expected to keep up a 3 day response time. ---> Provide positive or constructive feedback about any academy mentor you have interacted with through the 7 Cups Academy Mentor Review form. 📞Open the mentor review form here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2XnrHWY9kCWIuRyfrEyODlTnHTJOnk0HQ22orLGRneCorVg/viewform] ---> Acknowledge/appreciate a mentor's work by nominating them for an Academy Award.  🏆Open Academy Awards nomination form here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeEZIVi3mnziP54xaUoWYZVzI5Xmzg_BcNpKwdE_ac-Hr7BSA/viewform] ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What can an LDP mentor help you with? Any LDP mentor is available to help you with coursework or a leadership role that they specialize in. They can also answer any general LDP guidance, questions, or concerns. They can provide you with resources. That being said, you will still be responsible to submit everything in time according to the deadlines that are set. What can an LDP mentor leader help you with? They have specific responsibilities and are only available in regard to their own tasks like leadership role update or answering questions about any mentor roles that qualify for passing with honors in the LDP. What can an LDP Ambassador help you with? They are available to help you with any graduation-related queries or any certification-related questions.

Graduate with Honors!
by DreamTouch
Last post
 September 19th
...See more Hello LDP trainees 💜 Exciting news! We now have two options available for you to graduate with honors. 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/].
