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.

Hey! I'm Kind, I live in the UK and a book I'm currently reading and loving is 'It's not okay to feel blue and other lies' by Scarlett Curtis.
@KindMoment86 that book sounds really interesting just from the title. I am going to check it out and see if it is something I would like. Thank you!
@Afunnyfarm824 you're welcome! it's essentially a collection of short essays about what mental health means to different people :)
@KindMoment86

I live in the UK too, more specifically the south of england !
That book does sound intriguing, I will also have to check it out :)
@GlenM I'm Belle. I'm from New York City and I just finished Six of Crows (HIGHLY recommend)
@curvedmanager74
Hey Belle :)
Thansks for the Book reccomendation!
If you like that book then I wonder if you've read any books by cassandra clare?
I also forgot to mention that theres a tv show adaption called 'shadowhunters' from Cassandra clare's book series 'the mortal instruments' and I highly reccomend that show :)
@glisteningEyes I've seen City of Bones a lot when I go to the bookstore, but I've never bought it. Would you recommend it?
@curvedmanager74
Yes! 100% it's one of my all time favourite book series!
Read the blurb of it to see if you it's your sort of book.

@slunickokacenka
Hey irene! have you watched the tv show adaptioon of 13 reasons why on netflix ?
@glisteningEyes
of course!! i immediately loved it because it has to do with people who end up k*!!ing themselves because of bullying and i find it pretty educational
