7 Cups Culture Guide + Badge!

@GlenM

Three things I learned that are important to me:

1. Importance in solving the next biggest and most pressing problems in front of us. The problem is the path. Solving problems helps us grow, makes us more resilient, and increases our success.

2. Failure is an opportunity to learn and grow.

3. Putting skin in the game makes a positive difference

When will my badge be ready?

Here are three things that felt most helpful to me in reading through the culture guide again:

1) The two-part model of high expectations/high warmth, balancing task-oriented responsibility with interpersonally-oriented humanity
2) The three-part model of what makes actions feel like they're worth doing: a) am I good at it, b) do I enjoy it, c) is it helpful
3) The idea of reframing imperfection as a natural, necessary, and acceptable part of the process of growing into new roles

Hi Glen, i took the test!

Three things that i learnt are;

1. Honesty

One of the leadership qualities that define a good leader is honesty. When you are responsible for a team of people, it is important to be straightforward, you always need to remember to lead by example.

2. Confidence

Another one of the leadership qualities, is having confidence. As a leader, it is your responsibility to maintain the team morale and keep moving forward. Keep your confidence level up and assure everyone that setbacks being looked into. By staying calm and confident, the team would not worry as they put their trust in you.

3. Commitment

Showing your commitment sets the example for others to follow, and leads to greater loyalty and respect for you as a leader. Set the tone of commitment, and others will follow suit. Remember that if you expect your team to work hard and produce quality work, you would need to lead by example.

I learned:

1. We need alignment on doing work we are good at, work that is interesting to us, and work that solves a problem or meets a goal 7 cups has in order to do a good job

2. It is okay to fail- we just have to try our hardest and figure out what does not work, so we can do better with what does work.

3. Self-efficacy is the process of learning how to trust ourselves and continuously grow more confident as we solve smaller problems and get to bigger ones.

@GlenM

The 3 things I have learned are:

1) Failure is Okay: I fear failure. When talking to a member, I am always worried if I'll say something wrong. But this guide helped me realize that failure is part of learning. And learning a new skill (i.e. empathy with others) requires hard work, and comes with a lot of failures as well, so it's okay to fail.

2) Self-care is Important: I learned that I won't be able to help others if I'm not able to help myself. I need to take care of myself, and both my physical and mental health to help others as well.

3) Accountability: As listeners (and learners), we must be accountable to our duties. We must be able to complete tasks and fulfill responsibilities. This is a reminder to myself of my duties and also owning my good work or even mistakes.

The 3 most important things I've learned are

1) Caring for others is important especially for those with fewer financial resources. This not only helps develop empathy and compassion for others, but it also helps us grow as individuals.

2) The work that we do here matters and that it helps saves many lives. It is truly a priviledge to be able to help people on 7 cups because it restores their faith in happiness, love, light and positivity.

3) Failure is inevitable, and I've failed many times, but the important thing is to never give up and keep trying because those who try always win in the end.

@GlenM

The three most things I have learned is :-

1. Our work matters a lot. Proud to be a volunteer on 7 Cups and helping a lots of peoples everyday. I am proud of all the 7 Cupers and congratulate them as we together are making a huge change in many epople's lives and we are saving a lots of people's life.

2. Failure is good to experience. Actually, this was the thing which is already very much fitted in my mind. Failure always gives another great opportunity to learn more and be much more better than before.

3. High Expectations High Warmth . It helps to grow ourselves in a more better manner, develop more valuable skills and be helpful to many others. It helps to become more fearless and confident enough to support many peoples.

Trust, Accountability, and dedicating time to help others stand out the most for me in the 7cups culture guide. I can only help someone if they trust me, with trust comes Accountability and once I become trustable and accountable for someone it becomed essential to dedicate time for them in order to maintain the two.

I learned from culture guidelines:

1.I learned from culture guidlines:

1.The 7 cups culture of high expectations and high warmth.

2. We should work really hard to improve and do not procrastinate.

3. Whenever i need help reach right sources.

Top 3 things I have learned:

1) Helping others let you grow more as a person. I believe this is important because knowing that the work done here is beneficial for both the members and listeners gives motivation.

2) Everyone is different and nobody has to live according to your own norms. I believe this is important so that people become more acceptive of others that are different from them and empathize with them.

3) Learning is an endless process. I believe this is important because every person you meet and listen to have the ability to impact your life and help you learn more.

The 3 most important things that I have learned are:

1. High expectations and high warmth. This is important to me as it shows that 7 Cups is a place that everyone can grow but we are also pushed in the direction that we can go. The company also understands that everyone has their own strengths and that we can all build on them. We also know that if we need support in any area, that if we ask we can get what we need. We should also be available to give support and help to others.

2. Trust: This is very important to me as as in any relationship there should and must be trust. If we do not trust the people that we work with, it will be hard to do the job that we do. Without trust, we would not ask for support or help others. Trust ensures that we are able to call on others and know that we will all do our part to achieve the same goal which is to help others in need.

3. Skin in the game: This concept was important to me. For those who have watched the musical Hamilton, you will know that in order to make change, you need to put yourself within the throws of the action. If you sit by the sidelines, you will not be able to say that you helped to get something done By being fully involved in the 7 Cups community as best you can, you are a part of something great where you will be able to say that you achieved this with others. If you were not involved, you cannot say that you had a hand in it. You will also get out what you put in - nothing!

@GlenM

It was really a mind warming experience.

I have learned:

That we all can fail but that it's something we can use in order to self improve.

That while 7 Cups has high expectations of me as a listener that it will support me in reaching those expectations.

That being a listener can save lives - sometimes this is overlooked as we are not a crisis service but we can help before a situation develops into a crisis situation and sometimes prevent it.

@GlenM

The three things I learnt are:

1) "Failure is growth."

2) Whatever little I do to help someone out, matters! Also, "with a few chosen words, we have the power to either make someone's day or ruin it."

3) Take care of yourself and have fun during the journey ☀️.

I have learned:

1) Although you might think having low expectation and high warmth might be good, it often puts us in a state of no progress getting done. So high warmth and high expectation is a must.

2) Failure is a given and it's okay if you don't work with things, because often there is something else that you are good at and 7cups is happy to work with your strengths and weaknesses.

3) Trust is someting 7cups values a lot and often appears as you read through the culture guide, and it's frequent appearance is justified for the sole reason of allowing growth.

1. Community and Teamwork are essential to the 7 Cups culture, this is important because it allows transparency to how supportive, patient, and accountable all the listeners are!

2. We have high expectations, that is important because we are able to expect and produce good results for our listeners and our members alike!

3. We are focused on the problems in front of us rather than a culture of catering to feelings, this is important because we build authenticity with our members and remain professional!

@GlenM

The three most important things I learned from this process are:

1. The 7 Cups values. This gave me a framework to better understand the organization.

2. The idea to work on the most pressing problem. Although it seems intuitive, we often get overwhelmed by believing we have to simultaneously resolve all of our problems.

3. The idea that failure is expected. I'm going to guess that a lot of other newbies are feeling anxiety associated with the thought of failure, just like I am. This gives me some space to handle the anxiety.

I have learned that,

Every beautiful and small detail of life from the big picture takes its own time to make the picture big.

Every rainbow has a slope downward but there is always a pot of gold at the end.

Life is but a mere fragment of a petal of a flower, sometimes wet, sometimes dull, sometimes bright and sometimes shrivelled.

@GlenM

Three things I've learned that are important to me:

1. 7 Cups is a community based on trust. We have to show accountability and be conscientious so that Listeners and Members can trust us.

2. Volunteer work at 7 Cups is strengths-based, and we should all be sure to operate out of our strengths.

3. At 7 Cups, failure is expected and nothing to be afraid of, so long as we are always trying our best.
