7 Cups Culture Guide + Badge!

Thank you for your response and support, @LetsCherishLife ! This is a crazy time for everyone, and in the US we are seeing so much going on and the politicization of the virus. I hope, as I do with personal upheval, that the other side indicates learning and improvement.

I love your SWEET cake analogy. And you are so right about choosing another part of the task when the one thing gets overwhelming!

1) Trust is the foundation of our work and this is so important to make things run smoothly

2) Working together to overcome any obstacles, challenges or situations that come up is important to create a safe and warm environment

3) Failure is a good thing and expected, and this is important because we learn so much from our mistakes and what we can do better next time

I learned that we do our best. And that s important because we build a safe, amazing place.

I learned that we care. And that s important because people need people who cares.

And I learned that volunteering is absolutely fulfilling. And that s important to more than one life.

I think the three most impactful things I learned from the culture guide are:

1) Failure is okay and a way of learning. I always, ALWAYS beat myself up, especially in my schooling, when I fail. But I always try to remember that it has made me stronger and that as long as I don't give up, I am not failing.

2) I need to learn to take better care of myself. Seriously.

3) I want to have fun all the while helping people. I am so grateful for the amazing community I have found in 7 cups!

@LittleBirdie30 I like that response. Being self reflected is a great resource that can help you grow.

I took at the test, it really encompassed a lot! I got just one answer wrong, and that's because I didn't see the last option - my bad, since the guide itself talks about staying focused and working coscientiously :P

3 important things I've learned:

- Collaboration. Working as a team may not always be easy, but it's important to count on each other, particularly when we realize we can't deal with something on our own. We can grow by letting others helps us, and helping others in return.

- Strengths. We're not perfect at everything, but we have strength that make our work particularly valuable. While it's important to grow in areas where we have weaknesses, it's vital to focus on our strengths, and rely on them to do the best we can.

- Failure. As a person that can sometimes be insecure, it's important for me to remember that failing does not mean you're weak, we can expect failure from everyone and it's not something to be ashamed of, but rather a chance to learn and grow.

Sorry for being on my member account. I saw the notification on my member account. Do I need to switch over to listener account to get rewarded? I did tell my listener account username on the Culture Guide Test.

3 most important things I learned and why they are important to me:

-High expectations and high warmth. These are important to me because if a company were to be low expectations and high warmth then their employees wouldn't be very focused on their work and it would feel too laid back that the employees felt like they don't need to work as hard. If a company is high expectations and low warmth then the employees would be like the slave shops in China or other countries. It is important that I feel valued and that I trust the company to check on it's listeners and members (if they behave bad and won't stop).

-Venn diagram of work that is: I am good at, feel interested in, and reaches a goal. This is important to me because if we meet two things like work that we are good at and reaches a goal but not interested in then we won't feel motivated enough to have effective work on our members.

-Our gas tank and company's gas tank. This is important because if we feel drained on our gas tank then we need self-care breaks to fill up our gas tank or we seek help from others. A company has their gas tank too. Bad people like sexual predators drain their gas tank and makes their members feel unsafe and violated. Good genuine people fill up the company's gas tank and makes everyone happy, welcomed, and safe.

@GlenM

Three things I learned from the Culture Guide are...

1. There are expectations that we must follow and meet on 7 Cups, but there is also a wonderful community to guide us and support us to be the best version of ourselves on here!!

2. Failure is okay. We just have to learn from our failures and use the knowledge we obtained to improve our work!

3. 7 Cups was built on trust, and we must maintain the trust by doing our best for our community and being accountable for our actions. In doing so, we can build a stronger community and help support our mission better!!

I have learned that failure isn't final and is a chance to learn and grow.

That honesty and compassion lead to trust which leads to a stronger community you have to invest in the community to get the best of the community.

@GlenM

Three things I learned:

1. 7cups creates a service which enables and encourages individual and community growth and support.

2. Fullfilling work is work that you are good at, that interests you and that solves important problem(s) and/or meets an important goal (Thiel, 2015).

3. Failure is expected; but with engagement and focus it is learned from!

These are important to me as they align with my own values, make me feel inspired and engaged, and fosters the feelings of being supported while supporting others.

@GlenM

1. The connection of doing work that fullfils me, that I'm good at and that leads to solving problems.

2. The amount of trust that is behind 7cups is immense and motivates me to work harder.

3. The high warmth connected with high expectations.

I have first leaned that trust can really build as a whole and move us deep into what we need to fufil here on 7 Cups. I learned that we need to always try hard and even though sometimes it may be a challenge we will all eventually go through them and that is okay, as well as taking accountability in what we do and if we are not seeking the right thinks and our tank has run out we as a whole need to dive deeper and succeed into filling it to our accapability. All of this to me as a whole is very important to the 7 Cups platform to evaluate our work on here and the feelings for all of us.

@GlenM

I LOVED this post and loved reading about the company culture. Feeling so inspired and want to write a similar statement for my company. There are so many points that I want to use in my own life.

3 things I learned:

- high expectations and high warmth. I loved this approach

- failure is nothing to be scared about. you are going to fail a lot and it's perfectly ok

- think about this work like being on a high performance team. Daily practices. Flow states, working out of your strength. You grow through challenges, like in a video game

1. 7 Cups is a high-expectations, high-warmth environment. It is important to have clear goals so that we get the work done, but warmth gives us motivation to get there.

2. For work to be fulfilling, it must be work that you are good at, that is interesting to you, and that solves a problem or meets a goal we have. For me, fulfillment is necessary in life, and these three things are a great way to gauge how a work is fulfilling.

3. 7 Cups mostly helps people with low financial resources. The marginalized are perhaps the ones who need the most love, and I am proud to do so.

@GlenM

I really liked the test and getting to know the 7 Cups Culture better, the top 3 things I learned are:

1. How we need both high expectations and high warmth to succeed. It is okay to expect a lot, but also giving the support and the enouragement to guide and help is so important.

2. Failing is fine and the key is to stay focused.

3. Health matters and in order to perform well, you need to take care of yourself.

I, electricbird, have read the 7 Cups culture guide, taken the test, and am now a 7 Cups Culture Holder.

Three things I learned are:

1.) 7 cups is built on trust

2.) 7 cups is high expectations and high warmth since both those things are needed to succeed and grow.

3.) 7 cups helps is identify work that we are good at, interested in, and that helps us reach a goal, all three of those are important.
