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.

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 Seashells! Really looking forward to doing this programme.
Have recently finished 'Who stole my life' all about a parallel universe a man finds himself in one day...
Hi my name is Aileen! I'm so happy to join this program! I'm new here though. But I hope my critical thinking and supportive self can brighten up someone's day here.
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.
Hi, I'm Liz!
I cannot wait to start this new journey in my listener development and to share my progress with you all. I would love to get to know each and everyone of you, maybe we could even help each other out if we ever became stuck. I look forward to seeing you around. We got this!

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
I'm blissful and I'm excited to be on this program.
I've read 'How to be Win friends and influence people' by Dale Carnegie, and it has become one of my favourite books.

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 : )
@Xtrem3 I've read the book you mentioned a while back and it surely is a good one!
@GlenM
Hi, I'm Heart 😊 and I'm happy to start the program today. One book that I really enjoyed and the last book that I read is "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.
@GlenM
Please also introduce yourself and let us (if comfortable) where you are from and a recent book or movie you have enjoyed.
