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.

:) It's crazy to me that someone in our Cohort was born and raised in the same town that I was!

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 earlierangel

I consider myself a bookworm and one of my recent reads is The Golden Cage by Camilla Lรคckberg. 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 placeโค

Hi, my name is Ray and I'm from Japan. I recently rewatched Matilda while in quarantine and I remembered what a great movie it is. I loved watching it as a child and the magic never disappeared.

Welcome. I read the Mahabharata as part of my 8th grade literature class. Very complicated book esp if you have to memorize to be able to answer questions in the exam

Ahhh! I had it too! That non detail book right? ๐Ÿ˜‚

@GlenM Hello there! I'm sorry if I posted here a bit late.

I'm Erato but I'm widely known as Era c: I used to be an active leader and listener in the community. I had to give up my roles a few months ago and somewhat take a break to prioritize my studies due to my workload being so hard to carry. However, pandemic happened and we're all stuck at home so I thought why not take this opportunity to partake in this program and hone my leadership skills.

I wish I still had more free time to get more involved in the community and continue to do things I used to love on here. I really missed being so passionate about what I do for 7cups. But for now, I'll most likely stick to this program first and just go with the flow and see how it goes.

Anyway, recently, I just finished reading Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho and it was so good! It has a different perspective on people struggling on mental illness and being admitted in a mental institution.
