HEYYYYY AIESEC...

First I want to start saying I love Finance Power Team!!!

Last weekend we had in Madrid 8 wonderful people expended two complete days learning and practicing finance, that's the spirit ¡Finance spirit!... yeah yeah we have spirit

Thanks Bea (ZA), Carmen (CZ). Jose Carlos (SV), Pedro (MA), Zubi (GR), Angel (UCM), Dayana (VD) and Jose (BE & ENAF) for all your passion and commitment, for me is really important you can see the relevance of finances not just at local level but at national and personal level; I love when you can see things clearly and you can find the way to your development. Since national office in Madrid, I will keep working with Jose to provide you all the support we can.

Also this has been a learning week for me. Everything started with the external audit preparation. All the work sheets, bookeepping, invoices and of course the environment was really strange; but today after three crazy days the external audit finished and I want to share with you this words because for me is a pleasure to work and contribute to the AIESEC in Spain growth!!!

I'm sure If we (all those who are part of the organization) work continusly and hard by the end of the term the result wil be reached.

P.S. I want to share with you my secret to work under pression and to control the stress :P

After an amazing conference...

Last weekend we had in Madrid the "Newies Conference", first time this conference is National.

We had a lot of challenges, but in the end everything was just awesome!. Thank you all delegates that put all your effort to keep all the knowledge that you can, even if sometimes something looks wired or not that interesting.

Facis, thanks to put all you energy and passion every day of the conference, without you this conference would not have been the same.

Bye bye Barcelona

What a crazy time... after two weeks in Barcelona I'm back in Madrid and already missing the LC-feeling I had the opportunity to live with UB, Pompeu Fabra, IQS and Bellaterra. But I have to go back a bit and tell you about what happened after I finished the coaching with UB.

First of all, thanks a lot to the other three LCPs (Cris - Bellaterra, Ali - Pompeu Fabra and Pepe - IQS) for their hard work, their cooperation and openness, and especially for making me feel so confortable and welcome in Barcelona!

So what happened after I left the "Universitat de Barcelona"? First of all I spent a weekend at Alicia's place and with the newies of Pompeu Fabra because they had their assessment day. Congratulations for organizing and facilitating such a thorough and complete assessment center for the potential members, we saw some amazing talent there!

At the same time, Pepe was doing a great job at IQS - imagine working without an office, having to convince the dean and the professors that they should support your work and getting a bunch of extremely ambitious people to be excited about what AIESEC can offer them. It was a challenge and it still is, but the energy and conviction Pepe puts into IQS was really inspiring.

And last but not least, living the Bellaterra-Feeling! :-) Reviewing their planning, giving information on feedback principles, discussing the kind of culture they would like to see in the LC and being able to use their spacious office as a working space. I also had the luck to spend time with each and every one of them personally, really incredible individuals and I can say that I learnt something from each of them. Thanks a lot as well to Cris and her family who took care of me like a real family, curing my cough and bearing with my constant coming and going, thanks a lot!

As you can see on the pictures, some of the LCs in Barcelona had support from a very famous Alumni, Dey, who's currently living in Barcelona shared his AIESEC story with the Newies and definitely left an impression on them, judging by how many mentioned his experiences later on.

And that's how two weeks working with four committees come to an end, thanks a lot to all the AIESECers in Barcelona and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon again,

Petonets, Sarah

My last but not least LC visit

Finally Granada, beautifull city, great people, and an amazing committee.
After 1 hour by car from Malaga, (thanks Palomeke) I arrived to Granada, after being lost like 30 minutes (GPS not working) we saw the faculty and the committee, and a group of amazing individuals were waiting for me.

I really get surprised with the passion, commitment and the environment these girls are living.
We set the goals of the LC visit and we worked very hard to fulfill them. Take a look to all this girls working.

The pink (or green, Tami understand me) committee didn't disappoint me.
We work but we get fun too, thanks for planned this visit to Granada, it was simply amazing.

I also got some unforgettable memories, I really want to say thanks to all this people, thanks Ceci, Kenza, Zoubi, Tami, Anna for make me fell part of you.

After two weeks, the LC visits finished but I'd got a lot of memories and I'll never forget any of these cities and any of this people.

¡¡¡¡THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!

Continuing LC visits

After my first LC visit I arrive to Malaga with a lot of expectations and all of them were fulfilled since the first time when I saw this in the LC office.



Palomeque, Espe, Mayu and Valero did a really good job during these weeks and the results came.
Take a look to the candidates. Here is the future of AIESEC Malaga, maybe future EB's, LCP's or maybe MC who knows.



Now, induction and selection are planned and the Turism PBoX is being created, I feel this is going to be a good year for AIESEC Malaga.

Thanks to Mayu, Espe, Valero and Palomeque and specially to his mother that treated me like a son. They made me feel like in my own home, Malaga's hospitality was simply amazing. I'll never forget all those moments with all of you and of course I'll never forget the Pimpi and that delicious wine (Moscatel) I bougth a couple of bottles :)







Thanks guys I'll never forget you.


Now Granada, Pink Committee AEEE!!!! (under my umbrella, ella, ella). Amazing time, amazing people, amazing place.

Hello Barcelona!

Right after Luis I was the second one leaving for LC visits, in my case to BARCELONA!!! So I've been here for a bit more than a week now and have already had the opportunity to visit all LC offices (or working spaces :-)) at least once.
I started at "Universitat Barcelona", working with Albert, Esteve and Dana to build their induction activities and introducing the national PBoX to them. At the same time I also assisted at their information sessions and it was good to see that their small LC managed to get almost 20 people to attend them. A special cheer goes to Dana from Romania (LC Craiova) who's studying this year at UB and who's supporting the LC in Talent Management.

Soon more updates on the other LCs in Barcelona :-)

The start of a new era for AiS

Hey people,

Is a pleasure to me write this post. Yesterday we ended our biggest national conference in Spain, Input Meeting 2007, also we started, LC's and MC, building the bases of work to have by the end of this term all the results that we want to reach.

The environment, participation, David our wonderful chair, all delegates, the facis team and of course the OC, made this conference just amazing. One of the most important messages, all the network will hear about AIESEC in Spain, so be prepare for that.

For me by my personal side, it’s really amazing see people progress and attitude, and people

Thank you people and see you soon.

Input Meeting has started!

Yep, we've finally started what we've been working so hard during the last few weeks. Today was the Opening Plenary, a session on the history of AIESEC in Spain and one on showing stories of current success stories in the AIESEC network. We've just had a meeting amongst the MC and our Chair and have all agreed that it's a real pleasure seeing the motivation that the delegates have and how they enjoy seeing each other again.
Our Chair is David from Portugal, last years MCP there. He's already made friends with the Spanish guys by singing a very explicit song as roll call together with Luis. At least it was in Portuguese so the "guiris" amongst us didn't understand that much :-)
Right now we're still continuing the discussion on changes in compendium and internal policies together with the LCPs. It's good to see them all interested and working at this time of the night, go guys and girls!!!

besitos,
la cangrejita ;-)

No matter how tired you can be, let's keep our inspiration: here we go AIESEC in Spain!

Here I go, the first contribution...

As I saw in a friend's nickname: "It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like dog..."

Yes, all this week and the last one have been totally crazy for me, but please don't think in the "work", I would love to thank from the bottom of my heart to Lina (CEEDer in Pompeu Fabra) for your kindness and disposition to do a wonderfull job for AiS; to Pepe (CEEDer in IQS) for all your courage and always great attitude to face challenges and challenge yourself as well; to my amaizing national support team: Carles and Magda for believe in me, in the people around you, in the AiS potential and for showing me an inspiring example of a teamwork.

Here we go AIESEC in Spain.

And last but not least, thanks to my team, my friends for the time and nights expended together:

the girl who wanted to be "air hostess"..
the girl who won a "spelling contest"..
the boy who was passionate about "new technology"..
the boy who was living in "three different cities"..
the boy who had a "fox as a pet"..
the boy who was in "danger of death three times"..

The day before departing to Córdoba

Friday... for someones is the last day of their working week... for us, this friday was simply AMAZING:

Angel & Luis arrived quite early to finish the office cleaning. The rest of the team started on Thursday, and Juan got crazy packaging and sending all the recruitment materials to our LCs.



Why cleaning the office? Because we had an incredible Learning Circle about Code of Ethics with EBBF & IBM.
For 3 hours, we were working about ethics, and learning about actions/organizations quite interesting discover differences between organizational goals-ethics & individual goals:
An ethics high-way with lots of unethical exits/short-cuts.


But the morning didn't finished there...
Minutes after leaving our Learning Circle guests, Ivica (spanish & croatian MC alumni) came to visit us, because he was on holidays. Imagine that a 6 terms ago MC member appears one day in your office... incredible!

And...
CEEDers preparation!
...
Trainee reception in the MC office!
...
Introducing foreign AIESECers studying this year in Madrid!
...
Invitations to night party (Trainees reception & Angel's birthday!), just before departing to our national conference in Córdoba. Cool, isn't it?? :-)


That's all from the MC live office!!

Hope seeing you all soon, or at least your comments!!

Cheers!
