Thanks Barquisimeto!

I'm very happy right now!

I just did a weekend of training in Barquisimeto. This is a local committee in the unfortunate situation that most of its experienced members seem be suddenly going off on traineeships or otherwise disappearing. What's left is like a clean slate of new members. Members who are so full of ideas and enthusiasm and are doing some really great things. Working with these members reminds me in one sense what it's all about – providing the platform to allow people to make of it what they want. I took two members to their first sales meeting today. I remember my own – the nervousness, the not being quite sure what to say, relaxing during the meeting as I realise the company loves the idea of AIESEC then leaving with that awesome feeling of having done a great job and being part of something really real and valuable and useful to companies.

To everyone in Barquisimeto – thank you for being so enthusiastic and attentive and actively participating so well in the activities I planned. We achieved so much and I am very excited about where you are going to go as an LC! Especially in External Relations – your ideas for positioning AIESEC in the university, to businesses and in communities are exactly what AIESEC needs to be doing in every LC. Club de Idiomas as the shining peak of the strategy is something that can only grow and grow and as a project that addresses the needs of the city it is perfect!

A huge thanks to Miguel (double-M, M2) and to your family. I could not have asked for more perfect hosts for my stay!

The ball in your office is to remind you that the simple act of smiling will bring success in phone calls, networking events, sales meetings and in everything you do! (but I do need it back at TRS, and don’t tell Antje you have it)

Piru, I hope you find another tall person to serve as a distractive force for devious lunch-time cafeteria infiltrations. Rollo is coincidentally almost exactly the same height as me so that should work.

See you all at TRS!

A new AIESEC Venezuela?

Something amazing happened to me at CONAL/SDL this weekend.

I saw an AIESEC Venezuela that is a completely different from what I saw one year ago.

...An AIESEC Venezuela acting like a country.

...An AIESEC Venezuela with spirit.

...An AIESEC Venezuela that is making things happen.

...An AIESEC Venezuela that is going to show the world that we are capable and motivated and right now we are doing incredible, exciting things.

I don’t know where this has come from, but it is somehow there. An unstoppable momentum that is going to take us to amazing places. And it’s being led by all of you. Acting as one unit, helping each other, working towards what we now have – a long term vision, and a plan for how to get there.

I was just smiling all day today thinking about how I feel about AIESEC Venezuela. I genuinely feel excited. I feel proud. I feel committed to AIESEC Venezuela, to all of you. I am looking forward to tomorrow, to the next two months, and to seeing you in Spain in one year with all of you feeling absolutely proud of what you have created - and showing this to the world.

I just want to thank you all simply for being who you are. Incredible, devoted, passionate, committed, fun-loving, hard-working members of AIESEC who are taking AIESEC Venezuela where you want it to go, where it needs to go and where it is going.

Thank you.

Dan

AIESEC Venezuela in Mexico!!!


AIESEC Venezuela in Mexico!!!
Originally uploaded by Spanner Dan.
Well we've made it! We are actually in Mexico.

We are right now in a very nice looking hotel in Guanajuato after about 7 hours in a plane and a night on a party-bus for Mario and Kelly.

We've had our first Mexican street food and Mario and Dan almost died from the spiciness.

Mario is the only Ecuadorian here, and Dan is the only Brit. There are so many people here from all over the Americas it is just amazing, and most of them seem to know Kelly and have to scream quite a lot when they see her. What a star. And all those from the US know about Get Golden so Dan is very happy too :-)

Marlies is also so incredibly excited - she's just running around jumping all over the place with joy at being here. Oh, wait or maybe she's sleeping.

And Frank is sleeping in his hotel room right now.

In about 6 hours is the opening ceremony to kick off this conference that is the first international one for quite a few of us and is going to be an incredible experience for all of us!

Venezolano por el mundo...


Es así... El 13 de Marzo estaba partiendo para mi segundo IPM, esta vez en Egipto... Pase el "día de los enamorados" en aereopuertos, pero llegué el 15 empezando el día a Egipto. La experiencia, emocionante!

Empecé a conocer y a ver, parecía bebe cuando abre sus ojos por primera vez. Luego llego y empiezo a ver rostors conocidos, emoción, alegría, tantos buenos sentimientos juntos que pocas veces se viven al mismo tiempo.

Empieza el Premeeting, mucho trabajo nos viene de aquí a doce días. Pero es grandioso ver como todo empieza a tener mejor forma. Correjimos errores en la iniciativa regional, hacemos compromisos por países, discutimos el presupuesto regional y la estructura del Board... Qué puedo decir?, completamente exitante!

Termina el premeeting y empieza IPM! vamos al opening ceremony, DIOS! siempre son momentos se te pone la piel de gallina, pierdes noción de espacio y tiempo, es simplemente genial. Luego Global Village, donde alimenté a media humanidad y me tomé fotos con la otra mitad... Todo para empezar IPM en el Palmera Beach Resort frente al Mar Rojo!

La conferencia fue grandiosa, los momentos con cada delegado, los aprendizajes obtenidos, la elección de AI 07-08, las relaciones que cree, las noticias buenas para Venezuela, la experiencia se hacía cada vez mejor. Hasta que finalizó y me di cuenta que probablemente pasaría un tiempo largo antes de ver a los MCPs 06-07 una vez más.

Terminado IPM pase unos días en Egipto, conocí las pirámides, jugamos en la playa, aprovechamos para conocernos mejor. Y luego regresamos a nuestras casas, pero de paso yo fui a Londres :-), segunda vez que estaba por allá, pero esta vez estaba con alguien que me podía dar un tour y puso mostrarme cómo se rumbea en Londres :-)

Ahora llevo casi dos semanas en Caracas, pero ya mañana estoy por salir a México para mi experiencia como faci internacional en el AXLDS 2007! Va a ser genial, lo se... Me muero de las ganas por ya estar por allá, no puedo esperar a empezar el evento y ver a tooodos los delegados reunidos.

Luego vendré con esos cuentos... Esperenlos!

Desde el Comité Nacional reportó para ustedes, Franky Baby...

On the road at UNIMET

Durante las 4 días pasados, he trabajado con UNIMET en La Experiencia de ER. Para mí, fue una experiencia muy rica, muy educativa y muy divertida. Me gustaba mucho conectar con miembros que tienen mucho entusiasmo y grandes ideas.

Teníamos capacitaciones y discusiones muy bueno acerca de ER en UNIMET, Marca, Publicidad, Mercadeo, Reclutamiento y el proceso de Ventas. Hablé con Mish acerca de una idea para un proyecto - "Value-Based Responsible and Smart Marketing". Creamos una mapa de contactos y campeones de AIESEC UNIMET - empresas, media, alumnos, universidad.

Ahorita, UNIMET necesita a continuar este entusiasmo y dedicación. Necesitan trabajo a juntos para crear las cosas ellos quieren. Con todas estas personas fantásticas trabajando a juntos, sé que UNIMET tendrán resultados buenos en ventas, mercadeo y reclutamiento! Gracias a todos por participar y darme chocolates.

También, Risho ha trabajado en BQTO para la semana pasada. Ellos están haciendo muchas llamadas de ventas, citas de ventas y mucha acción.

Pero no terminemos aquí!

A continuación, La Experiencia de ER en estas LCs:

  • UCAB: sábado 27, lunes 29 – miércoles 31 (Dan)
  • UNITEC: lunes 29 – viernes 2 (Mario)
  • USB: jueves 1 – martes 6 (Mario)


Nos gustaría a continuar trabajando con Uds y aprendiendo acerca de que están haciendo y ayudando tus nuevos LCs!
