Leadership Quote of the Week

“Management is doing things right; leadership

is doing the right things.”

- Peter Drucker

Impressions of Margaux’s Kick-off experience in Leysin

Margaux joined AIESEC and its Comm-team some weeks

ago. She really enjoyed the first weeks as an AIESEC member

and appreciates the huge team spirit of her team. But one of

the first steps each AIESEC member has to take is attending

a national conference! The same thing happened to me last

autumn, when I attended Do-It. As I couldn‘t attend Kick-Off,

I asked myself: Is Kick-off able to keep up with Do-it?

According to Margaux, Kick-Off was just awesome: „I've

never experienced something like that before. I really loved it

due to the variety in the program and the participation of all

other LCs. The Facis and the OC have really overdone

themselves. Respect!“. In Margaux’s opinion, the Global

Village was the craziest thing about Kick-Off: „It was simply

amazing to see everyone bond together despite of the

cultural background. The atmosphere was indescribable and

everyone was having a really good time!“ The most

important lesson Margaux learned from her crazy Kick-Off-

weekend was the fact, that it is really important to stand

behind your actions, that you have to define your goals and

have a plan on how to achieve them and then you have to

work to get there. I’m happy that I also asked her what the

funniest thing was that happened to her at Kick-Off:

„Well one time, when I was in a hurry, I had to go

Team of the Week:

OC KO 2012

Who are we?

From top to bottom (OC): Samantha, Joelle, Ardiana, Karin, Lucca,

(Extended OC): Douglas, Patrick, Julian, Luke, Susanne, Quentin,

Nuria

What is the OC-Team (currently) doing?

Right now they are probably getting some much needed rest. The

question should be: What did they do? Well, they’ve organized the awesome conference you have attended last week. And if you

haven’t been there: Rest assured that they did an outstanding job. So on

behalf of all of us: THANK YOU, OC! We love you!

up to my room to grab my blue EF-bag, I just ran up the stairs

and stormed into a room - obviously the wrong one. Then I

grabbed a bag and began to talk to my roomie about the last

session I was just coming from. As there was no answer

coming, I looked up... into a face I've never seen before“.

Furthermore, I could not help but to ask Margaux, how tired

she has been (or looked;)) on Sunday. „Oh lord. I had a lunch

date on Monday with my mother. She just looked at me and

said laughing: 'Oh. I can see you definitely had a good time at

the conference..!' haha. True story!“.

Finally, I asked her, if there is anything left to say about the

conference, something which is too general to write in a

sugar cube ;). „I'm sure we all spent some instructive and

entertaining days in beautiful Leysin which we will never

forget. LC ZH totally rocks and I'm sure that we can achieve

great things if we stick together as a team the way we did at

the conference!“.

It seems, that AIESEC conferences are just amazing, it doesn’t

matter in which season they take part. The only thing that

matters are the people which attend them and which define

AIESEC as something, that can have an impact…
