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.

Hello everyone :) I go by Taran here, I'm from Canada (born in the East, lived in the West for 18 years, and now I'm back in the East!). I just recently watched the movie "Run", which was surprisingly good! A horror movie that has a main character with disabilities, not too many of those.

Hey! I'm Caitlyn (Or any form of GlitteringNights you prefer) and I'm from Victoria, Australia. I am currently reading the 1818 version of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and loving it, but a book I've recently finished and loved would probably be This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel. As for movies, I haven't watched many super recently, but at the beginning of October I watched And Then We Danced which was a gorgeous, gorgeous movie I would highly recommend

Hello there! My name is Tate, I'm from the DMV, and recently I've been re-watching a series called FRINGE that came out in the early 2010s. Hope you are well!
My name is Kayla and I am from England. I joined the leadership development programme to improve as a leader (I am a room supporter) which can hopefully help to improve my confidence as well.
Good luck with your goals on here @TheResilientDancer

Hi, I am Chaos, I live in the US. I have three books on my nightstand that I have started (not finished), one on audible that is half done. So, a book I have finished recently and enjoyed would be...hard to pick one, but The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown and I'm Still Here, Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown. I have also enjoyed watching Hamilton...maybe I have watched it five to six times already and listened to the soundtrack over and over.
