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'm Anonymous, and I grew up in Lebanon. I have recently started watching Love, Victor, and I find it quite interesting. I also have recently rewatched The Breakfast Club for the millionth time and it's always going to be a classic. I'm looking forward to learn more about leadership skills and interact with everyone! Have a good day/night!

My name is afunnyfarm824 I am excited about this opportunity to connect and help others across the internet. I love to garden and spend time with family. I have chickens, dogs, and bunnies hence the funny farm. We will be adding other animals as we go but for now, we are working with the ones we have. I love the outdoors and anything to do with relaxing within this crazy world.

Hi! I'm from the US, Southern California more specifically - it's usually warm and sunny over here! I've recently watched two iconic movies: Charlie Chaplin(Modern Times) and one you probably have heard of at some point ... Titanic!

My family's been trying to watch older films, and we've been recently watching some classics! I've never understood the Titanic references, but after watching it - wow. And Modern Times has officially become my favourite silent film.... though it is the only one I've watched yet! I definitely recommend 'travelling back into the past' and watching/rewatching some classic films!!

@WarriorPrincess16

Hi! I love classic films, feel free to send me a list of ones that you end up watching and we can talk about them :D

@WarriorPrincess16

Hey! I love old movies too! I'll definitely check out that Charlie Chaplin one, I only watched City Lights so far. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

@tessie855

I actually haven't seen City Lights before, so that is definitely making it onto my 'classic films' list. Oh, and I'm really glad that I could give you a new movie recommendation! I hope you have a good time!!

@tessie855

I also haven't seen city lights , it looks good though!

Carlie Chaplin and Titanic seem to be such different genres of music! Great tastes though :D

Heyyyaaa :D My name is Ashlyn and it's awesome to be here!!! ;") I'm Indian but I live in Dubai so I got the taste of both the city and the country haha. I've currently finished watching a film known as 'Sunrise:- A Song of Two Humans.' The movie runs around the theme of forgiveness and rediscovering love.

Hi I'm WonderfulRainbows. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm currently reading "Wild" a story about a woman who did the Pacific Trail and some of the journey of self discovery she's gone through.

I've been meaning to read the book / watch the movie of that! :p

Skyglider July 10th, 2020

@glisteningEyes I didn't realize it was a movie as well. I've enjoyed the book so far, but there have been moments where I just couldn't understand her choices entirely... but I could at the same time if that makes sense... Am eager to see how it ends. :)

@WonderfulRainbows2862

Yeah I understand what you mean, I found the movie confusing at times too! :p
