Anyone can complete this even if they are not enrolled in any academy program.  Please click on each week to get the link to the chapters and activities, as well as the chapter quizzes. Week One: Chapter 1 & 2 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/1/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Two: Chapter 3 & 4 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekTwoChapter34_222290/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Three: Chapter 5 & 6 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekThreeChapter56_222486/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Four: Chapter 7 & [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFourChapter78_222860/]8 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFourChapter78_222860/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Week Five: Chapter 9 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFiveChapter9andCourseEvaluationForm_223322/] [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekOneChapter12_221753/]Evaluation Form [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ProjectsEvents_184/CommunityBuildingCourseChallenge_2072/WeekFiveChapter9andCourseEvaluationForm_223322/] What is this course? It is a learning opportunity based on the teachings of the book ‘Get Together: How to Build a Community with Your People [https://www.amazon.com/Get-Together-build-community-people/dp/1732265194].' The book is written by authors who are experts on community building. We encourage anyone who is interested in community building and management to read the book but it's optional. We have studied the book and summarized the key lessons and their 7 Cups applications. The course will go on for 4 weeks, each week we will look at the findings of two chapters and how the principle knowledge can be applied to 7 Cups. Each week's learning will be accompanied by a quiz to test the knowledge! In order to receive your certificate and the Community Builder badge, you need to complete all quizzes (80% or over-score in all + no copy/pasting for essay questions), and submit the evaluation form. Failure to submit the evaluation form will result in no certificate or badge. Note: Each quiz contains a field where we ask you to apply some of the chapter's teachings. These are essay questions so they are not auto-graded however if a user is found to be copy/pasting the answers to satisfy the word count or not putting in the effort to come up with a relevant answer then the person will not receive a certificate or a badge. This is not a mandatory course so if you choose to take part then please try to study the notes and be honest in your answers. It is the only way to learn! Note:  If you intend to use Artificial Intelligence tools to help you fulfill any of the course’s requirements, you are expected to adhere to our AI policy. You can read it here.

 February 20th
...See more NOTE: Please don't post to this thread. Subscribe to this thread and you will get a notification when we update this thread. Hey there! Here is a list of all the Leadership Development Program (LDP) mentors that we will regularly update. You can check here to see who is available for what leadership role and what coursework role. You can reach out to them during your LDP journey for any questions accordingly. At 7cups we encourage breaks, as self-care is a priority, therefore from time to time our LDP Mentors go on breaks, so this post will keep you up to date with these changes. If you don't see a name in the list, that means they are no longer LDP mentor. LDP Mentors who are ACTIVE are colored green, while those who are ON-BREAK are colored red. If a mentor is marked green and they do not respond to you within 3 days, please let me [https://www.7cups.com/@FrenchToastClub] know. All of our active LDP mentors are expected to keep up a 3 day response time. ---> Provide positive or constructive feedback about any academy mentor you have interacted with through the 7 Cups Academy Mentor Review form. 📞Open the mentor review form here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2XnrHWY9kCWIuRyfrEyODlTnHTJOnk0HQ22orLGRneCorVg/viewform] ---> Acknowledge/appreciate a mentor's work by nominating them for an Academy Award.  🏆Open Academy Awards nomination form here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeEZIVi3mnziP54xaUoWYZVzI5Xmzg_BcNpKwdE_ac-Hr7BSA/viewform] ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What can an LDP mentor help you with?

World Mental Health Day Discussion: Self-Care
by DreamTouch
Last post
 October 13th, 2024
...See more Hi everyone! It's World Mental Health Day today, which makes it the ideal occasion to talk about mental health and self-care. Sometimes being a leader can be incredibly challenging, and when we're balancing everything, it's so easy to forget about our own wellbeing.  Let’s see a few tips to make self-care a priority: * Setting Boundaries: Don’t hesitate to unplug whenever you need it. Creating a routine will help you to disconnect from work after hours.  * Practice Mindfulness: Just a few minutes of mindfulness or meditation can do wonders to get a relief from stress.  * Stay Active: Movement is key! Find an activity you enjoy, whether it be a brisk walk, gym, a dance class, or yoga. It’s a great way to boost your mood and energy. * Connect with Others: Remember, you’re not alone! Reach out to our listeners through your member account. Sharing experiences can foster support and strengthen our community. * Reflect and Journal: Taking a moment to jot down your thoughts, this can help you process your experiences and identify areas for growth. Alright, now let’s open up a conversation! Which forms of self-care practices do you think will be helpful in your leadership journey? Share your thoughts and let’s inspire each other to take care of ourselves. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup! ❤️ ------------------------- @Arie3 @Skansly @rubyjane00 @GoldenRuleJG @azuladragon34 @Yourbuddy30 @DanCat1128 @positivePumpkin22 @Mahad2804 @Hope @DreamTouch @MeowgicalCaticorn @Dorcas00 @delightfulUnicorn38 @radiantUnicorn3506 @LovelyKittyCat @kabir22 @Selaviexx @Snowpudding @WillingToHelpU @Tracey12345 @Amazingworlddips @maebyb @hopefulDew435 @starryWillow9852
