Looking for tips for a Newbe
Hello, I'm excited to be here as a new listener. Listeners give so much to the world. I appreciate you for giving people the gift of listening. I'd love any advice you'd like to give me to help me do well as a listener on 7cups. Best wishes to you all!

Congrats on becoming a listener! That's amazing of you. My first tip would be to remember to set boundaries and expectations. As well as remember to practice some self-care to avoid burn out. Thanks for taking on this important role :) Appreciate you!!💜
@YourGentleListener Here's a tip: monitor the forum and look out for the things members say about listeners. If members complain about something, then don't do that thing! If members are grateful for something, do more of that!
I think the thing members complain about most is being ghosted. So make sure you never leave a chat without explanation.

@YourGentleListener Also feel free to connect with other listeners in Listener Support Room (Adults) , another way to learn about listening :).
Good morning, Gentle,
Welcome! It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the need here, so I recommend balancing your passion projects with your own self care. Don’t be afraid to set firm boundaries with your members. When in doubt, just pop into the Listener Support Room where we can offer you support and answer questions. Finally, 7 Cups offers many training guides. Completing as many of those as possible will help familiarize you with the Listener concept and grow you on your own path to wellness.
Thank you for being here and volunteering your time! 💕
