You Can 2006

My dream is to have an international experience this summer. It will be great for me if I'm selected for OC you Can 2006.

I applied today and I'm waiting anxiously for results!

Hope to be selected ...

Business Expansion eXperience

I have received another interesting email:

Dear members,
A year ago we launched CEE PBOXes. Hundreds of people in all CEE countries worked hard for 12 months to deliver the results. Even though we did realize as many traineeships as we planned, we learnt a lot and enabled members to live their AIESEC Experience.
Today we want to share learning points from our projects in order to help you to shape your local initatives. If you are interested in realizing projects targeting: SMEs, GOs or NGOs you should definitely familarize yourself with our outputs:

EU City summary
Development Academy summary
If you have any questions regarding projects, please feel free to contact me and OCPs. Although our terms are over now, we will do our best to help you."
Maciej Dakowicz CEE Project Manager 05/06

I don't know exactly from where to start because Business Expansion was one of the most amazing @Xperience that helped me in the process of being a change agent. I have learnt many useful things and because of this experience I can say that I enlarged my network of contacts and also I gained some new friends in Romania. Romanian Delegation ROCKED the Conference!

Everybody from this photo have choosen their own road in AIESEC. Romeo, Mara, Anca, Alexandra, Chipo are (VPs ICX), Chip (VP OGX), Adi (active member in @Oradea), Cristi (very active on PD in Sibiu), Elena -I don't know and not to forget Micky -Proud LCP who will lead @Constanta for success and Me (Proud member of NST @Romania on X). As you see our background is related to our favourite area (Exchange).

I remember at the end of the conference (CEE PBOX Conference -Hungary 6-9 October)after 4 days we were full of energy even if the Romanian delegation had another conference before(XMM). So everybody took the commitment that IT'S not the End...It's just the beginning of a new Experience in our @Life and we will challenge to do a great job.

Afterwards we went home and started serious work. Everybody in his own local committee.Some of us did extremely good job, some of you had to give up. Unfortunatelly overall results of CEE PBOXes failed but I hope that everybody learnt a lot from this experience.

Personal I'm more mature and I have a huge network of contacts.

To be continued...

First story

An important step in the process of becoming a trainer

Yesterday I have received an email:

"Yo, AIESEC!
First of all, congratulations to all of you, and may we have a wonderful conference together! As you probably know, in order to offer you the most relevant experience, the conference date has changed with 1 day. I other words, the new dates are 30.06-3.07.
For any major complaints / impossibility to attend, we are waiting for your e-mails.Details regarding the location and how to get there will be provided in a future e-mail.For any other information, our operators are standing by ;)

Have an insightful day,Robert(conference manager)"

My NEXT @XP will be TTT in Sibiu organized by NTT. I have been selected to participate as delegate ...This is an important step in my @Life and also for my carrer. I gave a thought of becoming a profesional trainer and also to have a training company in the future so I really consider it’s a good idea.AIESEC made me more people oriented than I was before joining it. I always liked working with people and I hope this conference will improve some skills and gonna teach me how to make a quality delivery.

I have huge expectations from this conference and I'm very happy that 75% of sessions will be held by externals.
My expectations related to this conference are:
Ø To get me started in my path as a trainer (to give me what I lack in my knowledge ,skills, attitude for being a real trainer)
Ø to increase my network of contacts (to interact will all the delegates)
Ø to develop myself, to interact with people, to learn more about what a being a great trainer means, and how to keep improving your skills,attitude and knowledge, to discover new things related to what’s behind a training, how do I make a good training…
Ø to be fun
Ø to be challenging

I'm very happy because I will meet my friends: Cristi (OCP TTT ) , Anca and Adi that were also selected for this wonderfull conference. Cristi , Anca, Adi are special friends with whom I was at Pbox Conference in Hungary.

My first step in the process of becoming a trainer had started in MPN where I had to deliver a session with Iulius about opportunities in AIESEC. I felt great and I want to apply as facilitator at Rock Me and NPS.

I'm sure I will have a great time in Sibiu ...

let's start the revolution !!!

Latest news about me :)

It's been a while since I haven't post something on my blog. It was because of the fact that I was very busy because of the exams.

This session was very interesting because I had 6 exams (instead of 12 )...I manage to pass 5 of them with good marks. I failed at Finance ..bad luck

but my life is so interesting because I'm living diversity each day (parties, pubs , chinese food and Trainees:Luca(Italy), Paulina (Mexico), Kagan(Turkey), Yee MEE(Danemark), Stefanie(Hong-Kong) and we are waiting for Cihan (Turkey) and maybe a girl from Ukraine.
It's great to have so many foreign people in Iasi ..It's what I love most in AIESEC -this magical organization that is part of my life.

Updates

I just updated my blog with an mp3 player just to let you know what kind of music I prefer (Special thanks to Adi)

I find music one of the best way of expressing my feelings..

Hope you'll have a great time reading my blog and listening to my favourite music:)


Flash and interesting updates will be available soon on my blog:)

Full members validation

Yesterday was "Full members validation" in AIESEC Iasi and Yes after one year and a half of AIESEC i can say that I'm a full member. I had 9 votes pro and 4 negative votes (with 8 votes you are full member because yesterday were 13 full members and you need half plus one to become a full member...Last year in november when it was the Full members validation I had 7 votes and I needed 4 more votes to pass.

I was standing for the second time in front of the full members of our LC , realising how much I have changed , realising that @ is more about friends, passion, values about my values that I developed during LMS: Challenge -Synergy-Believe-Achieve.

I was wondering the days before validation If the full members will vote me and I had big doubts ..I don't know why but during my presentation I had emotions ...When Andreea our beloved LCP announced the results i was scared but finaly everything was ok :)

At the end:

"I love being in AIESEC IASI because this is where my friends are, this is where I learn and this way I can make a difference.The base of what I do everyday are my values, values which give me a broad perspective, which help me change myself and everything around me...
...This is how we think in over 80 countries!

Members of AIESEC in Iasi

For this moment I'm investing all my time in learning (I'm praying to take all the exams in the first exam session and also in National eXchange team. My dream is to go this summer at You Can.

I'll be back soon to post my @XPerience at National Congress and about what I enjoy most in AIESEC: Living diversity

Same Alex,
Enjoying the adventure of Living

What's My True Color?

I made an interesting test about my true color.

and the result is:

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor.

Enjoy the silence - A moment of peace in my life

It's time for reflection and self assessment..

These days were for me time for reflection and self assessment ... My winamp is playing Master of Chant-Moment of peace:
When the world is in tatters
And destruction is near
You can come with us here

When the people are strangers
You'll rest here with me
In a moment of peace

Light up the dark below,
See through the stars,
Reach to the earth's flow
Drift in the joy of our hearts,
Unleash the energy,
Taste of the wine
Drink as a Soul
That knows now, power divine


I don't know where I will go, what my Next @XP will be but I enjoy the silence and Easter is a good moment of peace :)


Happy easter!!

Running for TL IT&SOFTWARE market

One week ago I took the decision to run for TL IT&SOFTWARE on ICX

So yesterday we had elections..

As Zeno was saying in his blog "when your best isn't good enough". The EB thought that the other candidate , Andrei was more suitable for this position.

I did my best and I failed... but it was a quite nice experience of learning :) I can say that I knew the result from the beginning.It's strange but I knew it:) I was very calm after the announcement and also happy because another @XP helped me on the process of being a change agent.

I was prepared for both: getting or not elected. For me running as TL IT&SOFTWARE was an important thing that made me realize that I've learned many useful things that will help me in the future.

LMS-a step further in my @XP

LMS 2006

I don't know exactly how to describe this wonderful conference ...IT was my 10th @conference and I felt as It was my first @conference...I felt emotions and I'm sure that @Iasi is one the right track of achieving big results ..

I'm very proud to be part of @Iasi :) That's because of people that compose @Iasi ...:)

The key words of LMS 2006 are: Challenge -Synergy-Believe

Challenge-When speaking about challenge we should be aware that every @XP should challenge us to give the best :)We must stop running and start facing the challenges that we encounter in our lives.

Synergy: because only together we are going to move to next level, only together we can touch miracles ..Is about the level where in an synergic way we are going to unite all our strong points and overcome fears, challenges, the unknown.

With LMS 2006 a new road has been opened in our LC... Is about the fact that LMS 2006 made people come together

"Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I’ve got these feelings
Believe-Believe another key word during the conference ...Believe that is right and it will be, believe that you want to be a change agent and start being it :)

The world is @IASI :)

I would like to congratulate also the happy OC.of LMS 2006..Great job guyz..It was one of the most amazing OC I have seen ever;)

MPN -A new @XP

MPN was one of the most amazing @conference for me. It was my 9th @ conference and I had to chance to get in contact with the new generation of leaders that were recruited in autumn. During NPS I settled an objective (getting in contact with the new generation) but I didnt have the chance to do this in December.

I was very impressed by the new generation and I'm sure that AIESEC Romania is one the right way:)

Another amazing thing that happened during MPN was that I had to deliver a session with Iulius. Iulius had a training on Learning&development on the seconday day of thePD track. I prepared a power point presentation with the opportunities that @ people must take advantage of (CEED&SOL, National SOL Campaign and also CEE CEED program)...It was amazing to see after one year of work as National SOL&CEED coordinator people were discussing about helping eachother, sending SOLs from an lc to another:)
And I can say that my mission was accomplished ...During my presentation VPs , PD people asked questions ..


I felt great!
thanks Gabiza and Miha for offering me the chance to present these opportunities during a national conference:)

I want to congratulate @Constanta for organizational part of the conference. The parties were great, the hotel , the reception ...everything made me enjoy this conference:)

During MPN I took the decision to run for NEXT(national exchange team of AIESEC ROMANIA) because I arrived to that point where I understand what being a change agent means and , more importantly , that I am willing to learn how to be one.

Another reason that I took this decision was the fact that I will be able to learn more about @Romania reality, I will be able to work in a national and diverse team and gain organizational overview through a holistic approach.

I want to have a direct and active contribution to the development and change process in the organization, especially on the Exchange Area, which is my favourite one.

Enjoying the adventure of living

I thank you
for every single day
of my stay

It has been wonderfull
I have no words to say
How I feel
I guess it was more like a dream
A dream that has been real

Na, Na,Na, Na, Na,
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na

And I have learned,
The more I study,
How little I Knew,
And I have learned because of You,
And I have been,
So many places, so much I've seen
I understood,
Things before I never could

And that's good,
And that's good,
And that's good,

And I've made friends,
People who love to sing and dance.
Whenever ther's a chance.

And I thank you,
For doing all the thing, that you do
the way you do
I appretiate your effort
Yes, I do
Thanks for being there
when home was thousand miles away

Na, Na, Na

And I thank you,
I think I've change my point of view
I think I've changed because of you,
And I thank you.


My adventure of living started because of a special person and I'm Happy to thank her for learning me many useful things and because she made me enjoy every moment of my life :)
