Course 2: Becoming a 7 Cups Leader - (Discussion #10) Diversity, Cultural Differences, and Second Language Learners

@Heather225 Please list some advantages of a diverse team.

A diverse team helps teach us about various cultures, traditions and we meet people from different backgrounds. It helps us extend a helping hand all over the world covering different time zones. We would have a lot to learn from their experiences and gain knowledge about different people all over the world. We learn to offer support not only to our country citizens but also people from different countries and continents

How can we be respectful of different cultures on 7 Cups?

People living all over the world can have different cultures, rituals and traditions. It is our duty to be respectful to everyone here at cups. We should have a nonjudgmental attitude and have an open mind about their culture. Our perspectives might not always match and might have conflicts between us but to avoid that we should be respecting and understanding each other. We should treat everyone as one and celebrate every culture here at cups as this platform is international and make this a place where everyone feels like home

Some advantages of a diverse team are that the different perspectives and cultures of Listeners can provide better help and insight for our members around the world, and diversity can help those that speak other languages. We can also cover those in different timezones of the world.

We can be respectful of different cultures on 7 Cups by respecting others' cultural beliefs as well as being mindful of schedules, availability, and timezones.

* It humbles all of us as team members to know that what we know is just one of several. That what we know is just a part of a collective, and being a part of the collective means working towards co-existence. It heightens our senses in a way because it opens us up to different points of view, different perceptions, and different ways of life. It's quite humbling because it's a safe space where we can all download to our psyche new information and at the same time upload our own to share with the collective.

* The exchange of energies is simply intoxicating. Imagine seeing the world through each other's eyes. Plus the access to different people 24/7 is just legendary.

* The unlimited potential to learn, grow, improve, and develop. It's one of the best parts of having a diverse team <3

How can we be respectful of different cultures on 7 Cups?

* Be open-minded. It means knowing when to comment and when to keep quiet. It means being self-aware in the context that not all situations reflect what you grew up in or is used to.

* Be more compassionate. There will be times when what you perceive as petty or a mere nuisance means a heavy burden and painful experience for someone. Respect for different cultures isn't just about what country or continent someone comes from; it's also about individual respect.

* Be conscious. Make a habit of consciously checking your words, thoughts, and emotions. Make sure that you aren't emotional when you speak and that you aren't overthinking things when you feel emotions.

@Heather225 It's important to have a diverse team to hear views that are representative of our entire population. We should always remember that diversity is awesome and beautiful.

Hello everyone,

#1: Some advantages of having a diverse team could be the following. Helping & supporting others outside the country, learning a wider set of skills outside of the country.

#2: I think a big thing to remember is the time difference along with holidays. Being mindful of the different times & different holidays that some of us may or may not have.
