PL 101: Introduce Yourself! (Discussion 1)
Welcome to our first course in the Leadership Development Program! I am very excited to get this going. This has been something we've wanted to do for the last several months and at long last it is here. Please find the course description below. Please also introduce yourself and let us (if comfortable) where you are from and a recent book or movie you have enjoyed. I'll get us started!
Course Description: You have personal gifts and strengths that can help you in life and also help other people. Identifying, amplifying, and deliberately building those strengths enables you to have a better personal life, professional life, and also enables you to more effectively serve others in our community. People sometimes make the mistake of focusing too much on their weaknesses. This can help, but deliberately building your strengths will get you much further in life and in your career. This course provides links to personality testing (MBTI, Big 5) where you can learn to identify your personality style and strengths. It helps you understand how to match your strengths to roles in the 7 Cups community and enables you to find a career path that will be fulfilling. Join other new leaders in individual and group learning exercises.
Please note: In order to successfully complete the LDP, you must respond to all discussion posts. Your comment/response should answer the questions/shows that you completed the given activity (if any). Read the post carefully and follow the instructions given. Save your responses to a document that you can later refer to. You will need to copy/paste your response in the course evaluation form at the end of each course to show that you have done the work and to refresh your memory.
After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here! You must take part in the brainstorming/activities given in all of these posts to successfully complete the program.

Hey everyone, I'm Hope! I'm from Singapore, and a recently found time to watch the movie The Tale. I had wanted to watch this movie for a long because I'd heard of its delicate, yet truthful and visceral portrayal of *trigger warning* child sexual abuse.
This movie details the director's personal story, and how she perceived it as a 13 year old girl, and later as a middle-aged woman. It was an incredibly thoughtful and introspective piece, one that resonated with my own personal experience. I'll definitely be thinking about this film for years to come.

hey, I'm Wanjiku. I'm from Nairobi Kenya.
Hi everyone! I'm super excited to be taking on this journey with y'all. :)
I am from the PNW in the USA, I recently rewatched the first Narnia movie and loved it!
@GlenM my name is Khalifa. I prefer someone called me Sya as it is in my username. I live in Malysia. I am in love with various types of comics since a novel took me a long time to get it finished reading. I also prefer to watch any genre of movies as long as I can enjoy it. Btw, thanks for welcoming me in this program and it's very nice to know each other. 😊
Good luck @kdsyahirah
Hi, I'm Michelle! Nice to meet you all, excited to see how this course goes. I'm from Brooklyn and I love movies and books but haven't finished anything recently. I did just listen to a podcast that I would reccomend! Marc Brackett: Become an Emotional Scientist on The Psychology Podcast. We need to be curious and understand our emotions like a scientist not a judge; and it only comes from the permission for us to feel.

Hi, Michelle. The psychology podcast is my fave! <3 Agreed 100%. I learn so much about the world form the podcast. Feeling is not a crime. I hope society realises that at some point it's okay to not be happy 24*7.

and a recent book, i just finished reading "me before you" for the second time!
Hi! I'm Sam, and I am 19 years old. I'm from Texas and absolutely love reality tv shows. My favorite at the moment would be "The Real Housewives of Orange County".
Hi everyone. I'm Rika. I live in Indonesia. I am a mother of two boys. The older is eleven and the younger is four. I haven't got the chance to watch movies these days. Last movie I watched was "Parasite". It was interseting but I didn't really enjoy how it ended. I'm a fan of good plot twist, but the bad one is meh. As for books, I usually read children books for my 4-year-old boy, which surprisingly reminds me -in-a-teaching-way- (if this makes sense) on how to live and do better. Last book we read together was Noddy, it's a story about a wooden toy who always nod his head even when he refuses or disagrees on things. Why? It's because his head was connected to his body by a spring :D
That's it for now.
Hope everyone stay safe and healthy.
