Welcome Committee - Listeners

 August 18th
...See more Welcome Committee - Listeners Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well!  I'm happy to share that the Welcome Committee - Listeners is being officially launched! Mission Starting out on 7 Cups as a new listener can feel overwhelming. From accepting your first chat to exploring different rooms and learning resources, there is a lot to do and see! That's why the Welcome Committee will be here to support new listeners through this journey. Our goal is to help new listeners feel confident using the platform within their first month and to reduce confusion around features, expectations, and where to find help. How does it work? Team members will reach out to new listeners to welcome them and ask if they have any questions, following up a few days after the initial contact. We may not be able to reach out to all new listeners, so if we missed you, feel free to contact a team member directly or reach out to a mentor [https://www.7cups.com/listener/training/mentors/]. How can I join? We would love to have you on the team! The requirements are the following: * Verified listener * 100+ chats completed * 4.5-star rating or above * At least 5 reviews * Listener level: Apprentice or higher (6,881+ cheers) Team members have a quota of 20 initial outreaches and 20 follow-ups per month. If you meet the requirements, feel free to read the guide [https://tinyurl.com/7CupsWCL-TeamPMguide] to get an idea of how it works and apply here [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm]! If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this post or message me! Thank you to @AnnaSilverberg and @Heather225 for the idea and support!

Calling All Verified Listeners: Help Wanted on the 7 Cups Welcome Committee!
by Heather225
Last post
 July 25th
...See more The hardest part of the journey is sometimes the beginning, and this is especially true of our newbies. We as a community have the power and ability to ensure they get properly oriented and supported so that their journey is smooth. I have been actively contacting newbies over the past couple of months and the results have been inspiring. Roughly 80% of those I sent a personal message responded to me and very appreciatively! That's a really big deal because those people have a much higher chance of being retained (retained = staying on 7 Cups). But I need help! So it's with great excitement, that I announce the revamped relaunch of the Welcome Committee! Through this initiative, we can meet our newcomers at the start with a friendly welcome (think hospitality, a greeter, etc.). We will also provide guidance and resources they need to navigate their first steps. The tasks are simple. PMing brand new members, saying hi, giving resources, answering their questions, and sending follow-up PMs to make sure their transition is complete. There are two sides of the Welcome Committee: one to serve members and one to serve listeners. 1. To qualify to join the Member Welcome Committee, here are the requirements: * You must be a Verified Listener (find out how to get verified here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] * No behavior reports (BPS) within 3 months * Comfortable PMing * Google Sheets skills – Basic knowledge of managing data in Google Sheets is necessary. Note: The team uses spreadsheets to copy/paste names and log PMs so you'll need access to a computer/laptop device. This work can't be done via phone. We apologize for the inconvenience * Maintenance criteria: 1-2 hours a month to dedicate to this project ✅ Apply here! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdye3w6JNdBiU4gNfilMGSxEfnqXXsQb-lR_xTvJmGD3GHKiA/viewform] 2. To qualify to join the Listener Welcome Committee, here are the requirements: * Verified listener * 100+ chats completed * 4.5-star rating or above * At least 5 reviews * Listener level: Apprentice or higher (6,881+ cheers) If listener support is your thing, find out more about the requirements on the team's promo post [https://www.7cups.com/forum/welcome/TheWelcomeCommitteeTeam_2670/WelcomeCommitteeListeners_374511/]. ✅ Apply  [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm]here [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm]! [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm] ------------------------- You can make a huge difference in our community's growth by joining us. Help us extend our reach and support our precious new folks!

Our Mission
by GlenM
Last post
 August 3rd
...See more I started this section and called it Glens nook. I plan on hanging out here more often. Ill listen, share my thinking with you, and hope to get to know many of you as we continue to grow our community. We wanted to share our mission with you before publishing it. We believe that every voice is important and every voice matters. Please share your thoughts on our mission below. Our Mission: 7 Cups of Tea is for anyone who wants to live in a world where the human experience is free from stigma and stereotypes and rich with love and support. A world where all 7 billion of us can grow and feel like we truly belong. We believe that each one of us is inherently valuable. We do not measure people based on where they are from, what they look like, or what position they hold. We recognize that people make sense in the larger story of their lives. We understand that people are complicated and that life is not simple or easy. We are all on the same path. Some of us are just starting out. Others are further down the road. No matter where we are, being kind, compassionate, and accepting of one another enables us all to grow. We do not tolerate people being mean, harmful, or rejecting of others. We do not judge or look down on people. Although there are forces that tend to disempower and create division, we stand together as we compassionately care for and champion one another. We see our differences as a strength. We are united in our shared goal of creating a place where all can find acceptance and be welcomed to a home where we all belong. Our Goal: We are living in a world with an immense love deficit, which means that none of us is receiving the love we need to reach our true potential, to truly thrive. Our goal is to build a support system, a web, that can hold every member of our world. We believe that we can fill that love-gap for every person in the world, either because they are an active member of our community or because they are touched personally by someone who has been empowered by 7 Cups of Tea. We will reach this goal when we provide 100 million positive and supportive conversations each and every week.

Season 6 of Dragon Prince Powerful Quote

...See more This powerful, thought-provoking line was spoken by the character Astrid in Season 6 of The Dragon Prince "Truth is everything. But before you give it to another, ask yourself, are you giving them clarity, light, and purpose? Or are you shifting a burden to someone who needs all their strength?"

I’ve got a vision of jelaous world 🗺️ 😂😂

...See more I think that the way my bf flirts with me - it is not seems very expressively. First, that I think is that he likes sometimes to separate himself from the bright-emotional world and he likes closed premises, where he considers what to do with his emotions. He is very active physically, he is really more active than me, I admire it. I admire it, but emotionally he prefers to not show this spectre of emotions, how different they could be. Maybe they even couldn’t be so bright and different as my. I also think that 2.5 of a year I liked the attention that my head-chef gave me. She was like taking out from my hands floor cleaning mop and doing something nasty, then she allowed me to clean the floor. I do not know what it is connected with, probably with the guy who was judging me at the start of my job for , excessively active behavior and smile, laughter for no reason (I know by myself now that I really was seem to happy, and for him this is probably a logical turn of events - he sees that I’m laughing and makes opinion there is a good reason for that, which is in my pocket, for example, some cigarettes or powder that he may be snorting, I understand him). like it when people envy me or want to play a trick on me. No matter what difficulties it brings, I like to discover the way how people act, when they are jealous, they sometimes do not want anything pleasant to me 😂. Yeah, that’s seem funny, but because of this situation I became very popular..then what was logical end is that I left the job. Now I have a bf for 3 months and to be honest when I’m just with him, I feel that he is kinda closed in himself person. But he is probably just prefers to not share with all people around him about his wide range of spectre feelings about me (feelings, that are all positive not negative, of course, because he is normal human 😆😆). I know one his friend Frank, and I wish I will know more, also I think I will want speak with his sister. Yeah, when you’re obsessed about your own life, like my bf, you’re not trying to make it obvious for everyone that she’s your girlfriend, not trying to become a clown 😆. Just simple healthy agression type of man, do not speaking extremely a lot.
