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! I go by Tay, but your free to call me Mx, mxmes, or Mxm. I live in Pennsylvania, in a city that I love. I joined in the month of December 2020, the time that I spent here at 7 cups was wonderful. I love singing, playing the piano & guitar, painting/drawing, reading mangas, and watching YT videos along with Netflix. Meeting new people excites me as making friends that will be there to support me is a great feeling. I have many goals to achieve and I believe I will achieve them in due time~!

Hi @GlenM and everyone,
Nice to meet you all. Please call me Chérie
I'd prefer not disclose my whereabouts in public. My apologies.
"Jack of all trades, master of none" expression fits me quite well.
Mainly, I'm a mother, a daughter, a sister, a family and a friend. Other than those, I'm an architect who is walking in many different fields of work along my journey, and ofcourse a part of 7 Cups Community
Recent books
Corporate Law, Crazy Rich Asians, Orange is The New Black, Storm and Silence series by Robert Thier, a Historian turned a Fiction Writer and 7 Cups for The Searching Souls by… well, our beloved 7 Cups Community.
Movie I Have Enjoyed
Just like everything about me, my recent watch list is also quite random and jumping from one after the other to finish them around the same time. "Netflix and chill" is my fav term.
However the request is “movie I have enjoyed”. If i have to pick one...Brave Heart
Voil , Much appreciated for this learning opportunity ❤️ You guys rock!

Hello everyone. I would love to keep my name anonymous but you can call me Maddie. I am from India. My favourite book is "Life is what you make it" by Preeti Shenoy and my favourite movie is an Indian Movie called "What is your Rashee( Word for Zodiac Sign in Hindi)
@Kindstar45
Hello fellow Desi! I haven't read Preeti Shenoy but actually knew her son haha from school. Strange coincidence. What's your Rashee is too cute <3 Glad you're here today!
@jovialButterfly6752
are you a fellow desi too? Nice to meet you too! Who is your favourite character from the 12 girls shown in the movie? And you must read that book! It is a great resource for spreading mental health awareness.
@Kindstar45
Yas i am!! Will check out the book then. Thanks so much for the recommendation. I don't know about my favourite, but my Rashee is Aquarius so probably that one : )
@jovialButterfly6752
You mean sanjana. I like her too. Is your sun sign Aquarius?
@GlenM
Hello everyone! Jovial Butterfly here. I'm an undergraduate student completing my final year of university (which is in London) in my country of residence- India- although I'm an American Citizen.
I can't think of a movie but I love the Star Trek TV series - all of them. I'm currently watching Star Trek: Voyager.
A recent book I enjoyed was the Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It's all about regrets and coming to terms with existence, no matter how difficult it can be.
@GlenM
Hey glen, sorry for the late reply! Im Alex. I live in Canada and I just finished the first Court of Thorns And Roses book! It was soooo good
