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.

@darkstatic007 game hangover - haven't heard that before, but it makes sense and I like that expression. Kind of like how you feel after watching a series on netflix I imagine.

@GlenM

Oh exactly! also like as if you were a character you know... thank you btw :D

@mentallyhappy

Hey maya! nice to meet you :)

I haven't seen parasite because i'm not one for thrillers but I do love f.r.i.e.n.d.s, who is your favourite character? and whats your favourite epsiode?

Hi everyone! I'm Sara :) I'm 21 years old. I'm so excited to start this leadership journey on 7 Cups! :D

In my free time, I like to practice Art Therapy and develop my skills! It helps me get into a meditative state and is very cathartic in nature. I also love to read! One of my favorite books is Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami!

Looking forward to interacting with you all!

Take care! :)

@GlenM Hello Glen, smiley

I am Tye I wont be sharing my real name or my state I live in because I would be easily found on my 1 social media account and I really do not want that.. Trust issues ...

I am from a cool state that has all seasons and it is my favorite state of course but if I could move I would love to be right downtown in New York !! I loved going there .. I grew up on a farm and where i am from we have so much farm land but we do have some hills .. I like the hustle and bustle .. my town has maybe 6 street lights but the town i grew up like 5 miles away from where I am not only had 1 red light lol.

We do not have many stores to shop at but many mini marts lol.

I love art and music , movies mostly funny ones or animated ,, christmas ones are the best old ones !!

I try and sing and every dog in the county howls so I gave that up ! lol laugh

Thank you so much for the site and having so much to offer !!

Peace and Love,
