Reflection…

I like reflection, it keeps me on the ground and at the same time makes me see what I still can do with my life. Especially newie conferences are an amazing experience being an “oldie” Seeing the newies getting more and more motivated always reminds me of when I entered AIESEC… I started working, but never got to know @, at least not the fundamentals. The newies these days are a lot further. Sometimes I am jealous, I never got the chance to enter and see the basics, the core, never got that motivated by role models, and now… I need to be that role model for newies, difficult. It took me 1.5 year to find out what @ was about, or differently said, to find that role model for me, well maybe it was 1 year. Going to newie conferences these days, as facilitator or chair is challenging. Making sure that the new generation of @ers will start off with a role model, with lots of energy and motivation is definitely a challenge and one of the most satisfying roles that you can have. And afterwards mentoring to make sure that the new generation also will be retained. The newie conference in Poland has been the last big amazing experience, learned so much from the people and surely they will be able to teach me even more!
And now, with all the MC applications opening up, and AI as well there is a new challenge. Still haven’t made up my mind but definitely there are some great opportunities waiting for me! Next stop, WeGrow! I am looking forward what the delegates can teach me this time! Will see my best friend again… the one person who took care of me and made me pursue my dreams!
So many things to do, learn, and discover!
Yesterday is history, today is a gift, tomorrow is mystery!
