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! My name is Nerdtastic, and I'm from the United States. I recently finished a book called 1984, and it was very well written!

@Nerdtastic
Hello Nerdtastic! Nice to meet you. George Orwell is amazing in his writing. His purposes and messages, I find, are always portrayed in such an engaging way. I especially enjoyed Animal Farm.

Hi Jish! I'm pleased to meet you. Though I haven't read Helen Keller's books, I find her a very fascinating and inspiring lady. I really hope I will find the time to read that book soon. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hi there everyone! I'm Lav, and I'm from the Caribbean. I recently finished a book called the Beyonders. It's a fantasy novel full of colourful and vivid imagery, with stress placed on character relationships and development. It's definitely worth the read.

@LavenderFlower

Hi Lav! Nice to meet you :) The beyonders sounds really great, it's always nice to see character development throughout a book! I'll definitely give it a try.

Hey Everyone!
I'm Izzy, from England :).
I'm currently reading a book called the code breaker, which is all about genetics. It seems super interesting so far, and is written in a way that combines the story as well as science and history of genetics. I don't usually read non-fiction but this is nice to try and I'm enjoying it so far!

Hello there. Joy here. I find it a privilege to be chosen to do this course. This is because it's better to find a trained leader than to find a leader who gambles as they go. Thank you for the opportunity.

Hey there! lyricalSea on the other side. A movie i've recently watched and loved is 'The Shack'. My reason for liking this movie is because it's spiritual and teaches why forgiving is important.
