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! I'm Ears. I'm from the US and currently live in Alabama. The books I'm currently reading are: Al-Anon One Day at a Time and Welcome to the United States of Anxiety by Jen Lancaster.
my fantastic therapist actually recommended that I volunteer here. I'm recently disabled and could no longer practice. Being here is so fulfilling. I love all of the members I've been able to help.
I love reading, painting and hanging out with the love of my life.
my favorite movies are the LOTR trilogy.
mom so happy to be here!
Hi everyone! I'm Strawberry Smoothie and I am so excited to start this program! I'm from Brazil and I started my "path" as a listener via a friend recommnetation (who is also a listener, please upvote her @ithinktheresmorethanthis). I love a good classic, like Jane Austen or even George Orwell, but once in a while I cannot stop myself from reading a cringey Sarah J. Maas!
Looking forward to this opportunity!

Hi everyone, I'm Ami from Barbados, originally from Germany ?. I'm proud to be part of this community, 7cups has a very special place in my heart. I love doing gardening and growing my own food as well as art and craft. A very touching movie I saw recently was "My octopus teacher", which I like to recommend to anyone.

Hiya,
I'm a middle aged mum, studying psychology online and working part time. I'm feeling a bit lost. I should have 3 big life worlds to explore but I'm here alone with just a computer for my friend and company.
It's friday night and I never go out unless its to work or jobs. Thats not by choice.
I want to change my life and find a new scene but its really really hard. Life got busy and it seems everyone forgot about me. I just want to be part of the real world again.
@Ariesheart sorry Im pretty useless at this site and posted in a listener thread. Arrh sorry. Im not a listener yet. Ive thought about it lots. Maybe when I'm a bit stronger.
Meanwhile...thank you all listeners for you care and kindness to others.
