AnnaSilverberg - New Listeners & Quality
Hay everyone✨! I hope you’re all having a wonderful day so far.
We have been putting more focus on our amazing Newbies and now our brilliant Quality Mentors have been doing great at reaching out to them, welcoming them and giving them our Listener Primer as well as offering them their mentorship if they have the availability.
We have also onboarded a new PA, @Fuechsin who is absolutely brilliant at sharing their knowledge in the Listener Support Room (LSR).
@Kristynsmama has been working diligently on sharing their knowledge and just recently made a post on the harmfulness of giving advice, you can read that fantastic post here.
My series, “My Cup of..” is still ongoing and our next one is on validation, feel free to check that one out here.
We are working with our wonderful Care Team and the newly restarted Welcoming Committee, to make sure that all Newbies to our wonderful community feel welcomed.
We tested our Listener Check-in game in Teen land last month with great success!
We look forwards to share all the magic that this wonderful community has within and showing our Newbies what Cups is all about ✨

HealingTalk - Quality Listening Program
Since our last Update, no less than eight mentors-in-training were formally appointed as Academy Mentors in the QLP, after completing their one-month trial with much dedication, enthusiasm, and professionalism: @AwarmHeart, @DanCat1128, @GracefulBelle, @Maebyb, @PurifyYourSoul, @Tuffattack, @walkalot and @WonderousLove3994

In addition, the QLP Team has recently been strengthened by the incorporation of two new Mentors-in-training who are doing their 1-month trial right now: @ThoughtLight and @WishfulWillow6962 They are already contributing greatly to the Program by performing Mentor tasks and we are very grateful to them for that!

Congratulations to @Mari228, QLP Mentor Leader, who, through extensive, continuous and effective outreach efforts, invited them all to join our Team, and conducted their successful training.

On the internal organization front, we have improved our dashboard (adding key indicators) to follow closer the evolution of each trainee, facilitating timely and appropriate interventions and better support them in their QLP experience.

I wish to express my immense gratitude and give my heartfelt farewell to @ComradeRuhi, who is leaving the QLP Team after more than a year of consistent top-notch work at a crucial task. Ruhi has contributed tons of volunteer hours to the Program, with much professionalism and kindness. She now leads the Poetry Community, greatly enlivening this wonderful and important space of expression, healing and flourishing.

Finally, we encourage all Listeners who want to improve their Active Listening skills to enroll in the Quality Listening Program from HERE  Upon graduation, you will get a Certificate you can list in your CV, and you can request a Letter of Recommendation and skills endorsements for Linkedin.  If you wish to join our cozy QLP Team as an Academy Mentor, click HERE  We welcome you with open arms!

I'm excited to announce that this month we've welcomed a new mentor to our team - DanCat1128. Congratulations and a warm welcome to Dan! They have been doing amazing in keeping our subcommunity vibrant and engaged.

As usual our program has been running smoothly on the daily tasks - kudos to the LDP team. We’ve been able to process/complete all tasks within 3-6 days of submissions.

Heya everyone! I hope life has been kind to you and that you’re having a great summer (or winter!) The Care Team has been working so hard to continue supporting our fellow Listeners. I want to thank all of our Care Team Guides for everything they do for the team and the community at large. You are all so amazing and we wouldn’t be where we are without you all! 

My fellow Ambassador, @SnowTabby, has been hosting such exciting events recently and we look forward to hosting more in the future, so please keep an eye out! 

We have onboarded our newest Teen Project Agent recently! We are excited to have @ReganL on the team and look forward to seeing all that they accomplish! We are also working with another adult Listener to bring them on as our newest Adult Project Agent, too! If you would like to apply to be a Project Agent, you can do so here! We are always looking for new Guides as well. You can apply here!

We have been working closely with @AnnaSilverberg and @Heather225 to increase our support to new Listeners and Members! The Welcoming Committee has been restarted and they are always looking for more people to help! We are excited to continue working to help welcome as many people as we can!

As always, please feel free to submit any requests for any Listeners that you think could use a check-in using our Care Team Request Form. Have a great week everyone!

Clarisse29- Content Development and Marketing Program
Hey Cups Community! I hope this month has been kind to you. And was it kind to CDM? Most definitely! This month, we onboarded more trainees than we have for a while and it’s been amazing to see people getting interested in the content side of things! 

We had one person graduating this month and with several others making significant progress with their coursework throughout this time span. The team has also been engaged in working on future projects and events to be hosted by the program and the Content Volunteer Team subcomunity.

We are still on the lookout for more mentors to join our team so if you’re interested, do fill out this form! You will be guided through the entire process and put under a training period before you can finally start your role as a CDM mentor with us! We can always use more hands on deck!

With that, I’ll take your leave until you see me next month with more updates about the program here! Take care!
