Hope October 17th, 2022

The 7 Cups Academy is a tuition-free institution that trains members, listeners, and researchers to develop skills and better care for our community.

Now let's talk about the Leadership Development Program!

The program is designed to help you become a strong leader. It includes both theoretical and practical components and is spread over 6-8 weeks. It takes a personal approach and starts with helping you identify and build upon your natural gifts and strengths. There is a learning-by-doing practical component where you practice what you learn by serving in a community domain alongside other leaders in either the engagement or quality programs.

What does the LDP offer?

  • In-depth learning of personal strengths and weaknesses and how they impact your leadership skill

  • Focused content on cultural diversity

  • In-depth study of building and maintaining thriving communities as a leader

  • An in-depth look into foundational leadership principles

  • Introduction to leadership on 7 Cups and the opportunity to acquire a leadership role before graduation from the program.

  • In-depth knowledge of building and maintaining communities

  • Supporting fellow trainees

  • Components of personal leadership

  • Study of foundational leadership principles

  • Lessons on cultural diversity

  • Obtaining a leadership role

Since I am uncertain if I actually did the questions in course 1, I am reanswering them now that I am starting to get the hang of things.

I am an INFT-A. The main things I learned about myself is that I am going to take time just learning to use technology and on-line acronyms. I also learned that I am a bit frustrated by this daunting hurdle. In my schooling days a tape recorder and IBM typewriter were high tech.😊 In fact, I still have my 1st Samsung phone that is at least 10 years old. I am using the I-Pad on loan to me for my P.T. in order to do my homework. Using my VERY old computer is not possible because it is Windows 7, and using the one that is not as old is difficult due to my not being familiar with it yet, and it not having any paid extras normally on a computer. I think that I am getting the hang of this in spite of the difficulties. Hurray! Other than that I did not discover much about myself, that I had not already learned being a mother of four and/or been informed about earlier throughout my years of schooling.

@Hope hi! Can this program go towards work placement? I am in TAFE and studying mental health certificate 4. I need someone to sign off that I’ve done everything right. 

Kind regards,

@FinalFantasy

You will need to check with the place of work. They can best guide you if they accept this specific program for that placement. We are able to provide verification of your work on 7 Cups, you can read more on that here.
