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.

What you say with the tactile book and having to read line by line actually makes sense. However, I think, I'm generally more of an audible person. Maybe that's why audiobooks are easier to me.

I had the concept of going with the flow and listening to my tiredness before, but the problem with it was that there are other human beings in my life as well as appointments, so it didn't really work that well. What I noticed though is that there was some kind of pattern and that what I created my schedule from.

My next goal is, to figure out a way that I can eat better, healthier stuff without loosing too much energy while preparing it. It's going to be a challenge...

Thank you for enrolling this course @GlenM!

I'm audienta. I've been around on 7 Cups for four and a half years now and have had the opportunity to take up multiple leadership roles during this time. Since I've recently graduated, I now have some spare time that I'd love to invest in improving my leadership style and grow myself.

I live in Switzerland and the last book I read and really love is "The Anthropocene reviewed" by John Green.

@GlenM

Hey everyone!

I’m Sher and I’m from South Carolina (southeast USA).


The last movie I watched was “Tombstone” (1993 edition) It’s a western about Wyatt Earp, and his brothers, surrounding the “O.K. Coral”. ~ Yep, it was the only thing on TV at the time, but still interesting, lol.

[Fun note] I realize this isn’t a typical ‘book’.. but I’m currently reading the phone book. I’m part of a historical preservation group and I’m converting the 1908/1909 Chester County, SC phone book into a searchable database for genealogy researchers.

A real book I’m reading is “The 12 Week Year” by Moran & Lennington. It's about using focus to increase productivity. I’m finding the ideas and approach interesting.

@countrygirl1231 that's interesting! Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular classic literature 🔥 do you have any other recommendations? Would love to hear them!

Hi, My name is Kaitlyn. I am from the United States. I love helping people. I love reading. Some of the books I have read are Wonder, Stargirl, The Acorn People, The Wave, Saduko and the thousand paper cranes, freak the mighty, and to kill a mockingbird are just a few of my favorite books. However, reading isn't easy for me at all and I get frustrated with myself a lot. Some of my favorite movies remember the titans, color of friendship, dr. suess the Lorax, wonder, the greatest showman are just a few of my favorite movies. I live at home with my sister, mom, dad, our dog, and my brother who I miss dearly.

Oops I almost forgot 😮, I like to read medical biographies. Currently reading though Unnatural Causes by Dr Richard Shepherd, would 100% recommend if you liked forensic pathology.

@LlamaLizz wow, I happen to be into forensic stuff as well! Is the book you mentioned easy to read though? I'm afraid it might be too medical for me to understand 😭😭

@GlenM

Hello there, I'm Xtrem3 I've now been a listener for a pretty long time and thought to take this journey even further with this program which is pretty much why I joined.

My favorite movie is 'the dark knight' mainly due to the character joker in the movie. I don't really think I have 1 favorite book however I'm currently reading 'the definitive book of body language' which is pretty informative and fun.

Thanks : )
