2017 Adult PB Award Winner - Power!

We are excited to announce the PB winner! The PB award is named after the first big believer in 7 Cups – Paul Buchheit (PB). PB is mostly known as the creator of Gmail and the person responsible for their early motto do no evil. Most people do not know that he has the keen ability to see through to the essence of things. He often uses this ability to help make the world a better place. He immediately saw the potential of 7 Cups and was instrumental in our initial success.

The 2017 Adult winner of this award at embodies these traits. This year the winner is @Power! Since joining the listener community, Power has slowly made their way through the listener journey. They have been a quiet, calm and supportive leader, taking on challenges with grit, creativity and determination. Power is a leader to the following community programs: welcome team, internship team, quality mentor for anonymous evaluations, peer support team leader & trainer and quality flag review team member.

Power is an infinitely kind individual. When presented with a challenge, he will proactively problem solve and brainstorm. Power is adaptable and open minded to changes that benefit our community. One example of this happened recently! In launching the member welcome program and later the auto-welcome system, Power worked hard with his team members to adapt and iterate on our welcome programs. With his continued efforts, we are proud to say that 100% of all new members who join our community get a warm welcome.

We are thrilled to award Power the 2017 PB award. His flexibility, willingness to chip in where he is needed and his ability to see the essence of things with clarity and resolve make him an excellent leader, community member and friend to all of us.

I could say you are a reassuring presence for every listener and a nice person to work with in team. But all that is still not enough to define how wonderful you are! Well yes...you embody the change we all wish to see in the world. Thanks for being here with us!
