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.

Hi everyone,
I'm SoulfullyAButterfly and I am currently based in Pakistan.
Although I consider myself a bookworm, it has been a while since I could read - these days, I am wrapping my 6th semester at university so I have been reading things involving psychology though! Some areas I am interested in are Positive Psychology and Personality.
One of my favorite crime involving detective book series is the DI Helen Grace one. (8 books)
@SoulfullyAButterfly Hey! :) Even I'm just getting done with my 6th sem studying psych at university! :D Nice to meet you!
@sunshineEars619 yay, nice to meet you as well
@SoulfullyAButterfly

Glen, I am so happy having you training us, you've been my great inspiration for building this super awesome emotional support community.
Listening experience and resources on 7 Cups impacting my inner change and bring it on day to day life.
It's amazing to transfer positivity to other who walking similar struggle and thought or let say huge mental block that i know i've been there and have something to say to strengthing and walk through it together.
Somehow my journey in Cups awakening my concern to supporting those people who closed with me, in Indonesia, especially young people, fellow students, my friends.
Hope we could get in touch from now on to see how can we collaborate in near future, it would be a dream come true for me.
I know even just by our interaction on this leadership training could kick out my willingness to contribute more on Cups and execute something.
I am Ira , i am from Indonesia , last movie i watch is Joker 2009 stared by Heath Ledger.
@GlenM

Hi I'm Annki from Sweden. I have been a part of this community for 3 months now and I'm amazed how many loving, caring and empathic people there are in here. My only regret is not finding 7 Cups earlier
I consider myself a bookworm and one of my recent reads is The Golden Cage by Camilla Läckberg. It's the sequel to Wings of Silver and it's very inspiring.
Thank you so much for me being able to a part of this wonderful place❤
