PL 101: Introduce Yourself! (Discussion 1)
Welcome to our first course in the Leadership Development Program! I am very excited to get this going. This has been something we've wanted to do for the last several months and at long last it is here. Please find the course description below. Please also introduce yourself and let us (if comfortable) where you are from and a recent book or movie you have enjoyed. I'll get us started!
Course Description: You have personal gifts and strengths that can help you in life and also help other people. Identifying, amplifying, and deliberately building those strengths enables you to have a better personal life, professional life, and also enables you to more effectively serve others in our community. People sometimes make the mistake of focusing too much on their weaknesses. This can help, but deliberately building your strengths will get you much further in life and in your career. This course provides links to personality testing (MBTI, Big 5) where you can learn to identify your personality style and strengths. It helps you understand how to match your strengths to roles in the 7 Cups community and enables you to find a career path that will be fulfilling. Join other new leaders in individual and group learning exercises.
Please note: In order to successfully complete the LDP, you must respond to all discussion posts. Your comment/response should answer the questions/shows that you completed the given activity (if any). Read the post carefully and follow the instructions given. Save your responses to a document that you can later refer to. You will need to copy/paste your response in the course evaluation form at the end of each course to show that you have done the work and to refresh your memory.
After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here! You must take part in the brainstorming/activities given in all of these posts to successfully complete the program.

Heya. I am from India🇮🇳. I don't use to watch movies too much. Moreover, I don't read books too but yeh I am thinking to develop habit of reading books as it's very good utilization of time and it provides us knowledge too. But I would say I read my school textbook haha and recently I was reading about political science.
Hello all! I am lueur. I go by lu or space. I am from India! A recent book that I've read is Atomic Habits by James Clear. I have heard a lot of praise for it so it was lovely to finally get around to reading it myself. I really enjoyed it and it provided me with a lot of insights! I have not really watched any movies recently, but I am currently watching new episodes of My Hero Academia!
You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have, more life.
@lueurspace I am glad that you are enjoying these parts of your journey.
@lueurspace
Hey there luer, Atomic Habits is a great book and I personally find it very insightful and inspiring, glad you liked it! Also, My Hero Academia sounds like a great show!
