PL 101: Introduce Yourself! (Discussion 1)

GlenM June 29th, 2020

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 FawkesCare on 7Cups (not what my parents named me). I'm from Sri Lanka. I am an avid reader but am currently re-reading Harry Potter (it’s my go-to book)

Hello! I am Irene from Ukraine. One of the TV shows I enjoyed recently was The Good Place. It's fun and makes you rethink certain life views, especially your intentions...

Hello, my name is IcicleSnown. I am from the United States, and it is a pleasure to be here. One recent movie that I’ve enjoyed is “Wonder”, which I have seen before. I do recommend it because it is one of those inspirational films. It’s a film that shows how things really are in life, and that shows perseverance. I often misspell perseverance, but I try. I am determined to become a very good leader, and I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll get to that “light at the end of the tunnel”.

Hi My name is Lotus. I’m in California, and this is my second round at 7Cups. I simply love this entire forum concept,Glenn, and the innovative characteristics it portrays for people with all sorts of challenging adversities. I recently watched “Unhinged “, with Russell Crowe, on Prime. Very interesting message for those that drive... A must... see movie. Peace ✌🏾
