SSGN DIRECTOR REPORTING FROM COLOMBIA

Hey AIESEC!

And here I am, in Bogota (COLOMBIA), the country where I was born and where I made myself as an AIESEC member. Colombia is the first out of six countries in total that I will be visiting until December of this year. And here is the committment: I will do my best to post at least ONCE from each country I will be.

The country visit has been great for me (hope for them as well!) - meetings, meetings and more meetings discussing how to make a better AIESEC and how to move "FROM GOOD TO GREAT" has been the daily Menu! But maybe one of the coolest day was last friday when I presented my first report on the visit (first set on asessments!) and also when I facilitated an MC team building.

Working so close to an MC team has been a huge motivation for me ... man! you remember so much how it felt to be an MC member (I remembered so much my past two MC teams in Colombia & Austria) and so many things suddenly make sense: understanding their environment and their personalities you realize why they deliver what they deliver and why they behave as they behave - every day I convince myself more that TEAMS/TEAM WORK is one of the most powerful elements of the AIESEC LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

The wish of AIESEC Colombia to remain fully aligned with the global strategy is so big, that they even took very serious the learning of the AI 2005 2006 TEAM DANCE, believe it or not we did formal sessions in order for them to be FULLY PREPARED to present the dance to the country in the next regional conferences that are happening this weekend in three cities of Colombia. Here you can see the MC team, of course, meditating before the start of the dance!

Is good to be back, is good to be in my GN. And this is only the beginning. Can't wait to see how much I will change after such a transformative experience. Anyways,

I MISS YOU TEAM THERE IN ROTTERDAM!

MISS YOU "HIPS", seriously!
