Snapshots from the World

This is the first time away from home and the first time for me to spend it in warm weather. I have to admit, it has been quite different and strange. Christmas decorations, sunshine and brightness just somehow don’t match with Christmas. Nevertheless it feels fantastic. I love going outside and not having to spend 10 minutes to get dressed. I’m happy because I can finally enjoy summer after 1,5 years:)
-----
The year 2006 has been an interesting and a life changing year for me. It’s hard to describe the whole journey, it’s hard to find the right words...It’s been a year of success and failures, a year of progress and unfortunately also disappointments in myself. It’s been a year of travelling and exploring, growth and reflection, a year of answers but also a year of more questions about my life and where I am heading...
-----
Instead of Estonia, I ended up in New Zealand, instead of internship, I ended up dedicating yet another year to AIESEC. I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if things would have turned out differently. But there are no regrets, actually the opposite...

I actually have become more Nigerian every day. For example, I felt cold one morning (although it was probably around 25 degrees)… I also really like to go around here on my own as much as I can and try to speak yoruba as much as possible (although my vocabulary is still very limited). And my skin is not that white anymore – at least when I look into the mirror, but when I compare it with others skin in pictures then it still seams too white, but I’m working on improvements!
-----
On the first days I was really feeling some overheating moments, but now it’s already quite ok, as long as I have my sun-glasses with me. But it’s still funny that instead of heaters there are big air-conditioners in houses. And one thing that I never thought about is that what’s the sense of bringing some Estonian chocolate with me when during unpacking my things I discover that they are all melted… Hmm, well yes, at least the taste is the same…

It’s amazing how balconies are built. The ground is with a small angle so the water you poor on the ground for cleaning all eventually runs out from a small hardly noticeable pipe. Very high tech. I suspect cleaning ladies were the ones who told construction men to do it that way.
-----
I am not living under a palm tree in case you wonder. We found a really nice flat in a nice area with reasonable price. But of course you can’t have everything, otherwise you start getting suspicious. So I am proud to announce that we don’t have hot water. It wasn’t part of my New Years Resolution to have a refreshing cold shower every morning but I guess I need to include that to the list now.

These are just few snapshots from Estonians all around the world living their life and challenging their world every single day by being far away from home.

Have you ever thought to step out from your comfort zone?
Have you ever wanted to get professional experience in another side of the world?

If you want to know what you can do, ask for more information! It's the least you can do :)

Pictures from EuroCo 2007

The official dinner was a success, wanna know why?

• Food was great - after whole week of eating Lithuanian traditional food, we got something really different
• People danced AIESEC dances wearing suits and nice dresses - how odd is that?!
• Really good cake!
• People were given time to talk with each other instead of having an evening full of speeches and performances
• The main sponsor was really youthful and his speech was something totally different from what I expected
• There was no "This is table nr 1..." and it's the first event when I've seen that happen :D
• Amazing people, lots of cool conversations, some good-bye's...

I really liked that evening, it took everything together so nicely :)

Practical Leadership - after EuroCo

I was thinking about the title of this post for bit longer than I usually do. One of the reasons being that I wanted to write about two things that seemed at one point totally different deserving different posts. No, it will be under one topic and that's it :)

Coming back from EuroCo

Imagine - it's 5 in the afternoon and the conference ends, people are leaving home (airports, bus/train stations, etc) and 2 Estonian girls know that they have at least 5 more hours to "kill" before they can start heading home. So, we made it to Vilnius, found a place to hang out, enjoyed good food and some tea. Everything is still quite fine. Then comes the decision to rest in the car while we wait for the others and almost the same time comes information that 2 Latvian girls are now ready to join us. Okey, so we meet them, they want to go to this party, I want to sleep in the car, so be it. (Just for your information, McDonalds parking lot near train station is not the quietest place to be at trying to sleep).

If you managed to think along, you'd know that there is one girl trying desperately to get some sleep, 3 girls at a party and 1 girl still not with us and the time just goes by. It's past midnight when we first hear from her, so we managed to get nearer to the place she's at. And that's when it really strikes me - all of us waiting in the car, we are absolutely widening our limits, our minds. There is high tension, because all of us are tired and can't wait to leave this city, but still - no one says a word.

Many times when we come across these situations, we find it hard to keep our mouth shut or just avoid certain topics in order to keep the thin line of balance. That to me is leadership in practise - always recognizing the situations around us and acting accordingly. Realising that we are not leaders only when we are with our own team but also in our everyday life.

The role of the leader should never be put 'on hold' - it should reflect to ourselves and to others in all of our actions!

Stay tuned for part 2 ...

About recruitment:)

Dear LC Tallinn!!!
Lately I know many of us have been involved in recruitment a lot. Many of us might be tired of it. I personally feel silly because the first thought I have when I get home tired as hell is that I should wash the orange recruitment shirt now instead of resting, because otherwise it won't be dry tomorrow so I won't be able to wear it:) We are all making long days and spending lot's of time in coridors of different Uni's doing recruitment. Sometimes it might seem a monotone work.

I'm writing here now in order to remind you and also myself that it is by far not just a monotone work.

Each day we're giving out flyers in the coridors there might be someone whose life we're going to change!Recruitment is one of THE processes about changing lifes, being agents of positive change:)

It's silly to think of this as a mission, but all in all, using my own example, I think that the person who completely accidentally lead me to AIESEC changed my life sooooo much. Let's change lifes people!WE CAN!!Let's just DO IT:)

I have felt soooo much team spirit in our latest recruitment activities..thank you guys for this..but there is sooooooo much more we can do!!!!

In order to achieve this, let's cheer up eachother when we're tired, let support eachother, let's not let us forget our message - creating a special story, and let's not forget that what we're offering is one of the best experiences!!There is one more week we really need to shine..so let's wear the orange shirts, let's ask people to join our infominutes, let's inspire ourselves and our potential new members and let's rock!! Together WE CAN..let's DO IT:)))

...So..let's MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!

AIESECly yours,

Marina

AIESEC Tallinn Picnic

Efka has uploaded some pictures of AIESEC Tallinn Picnic 2007, you can find the album by clicking on the image :)

la presidenta AIESEC Tallinn

Huuh, it's been almost-almost one week that I've been officially la presidenta and it feel quite good already :) Although most of my energy still has gone to my studies because of the exam session, I've had few things on my mind and todo list.

It's always so hard to know exactly what the president is doing because a lot of P's work doesn't really stand out or show out. So I just wanted to share what I did during my first week ;)

Last Friday, my very first official day, I got a message from one of our members that she got a message that her membership in our database has expired. So the very first thing I got to do, was to update all members in our database. Some of them needed to expire, some of them will be around in AIESEC for at least another year, right :D

Also on Friday we had our AIESEC Tallinn picnic which was organised by our cute&cool PD&HR Liise and Siret. They had done really good job ;) Anyways, my task there was to first give a short speech and later fill some different tasks with my EB team. We succeeded quite well, I think :)

Then almost endless e-mails with the new P-Club regarding different issues in AIESEC in Estonia. We're going to have our Team Days during coming weekend and of course many things needed to be cleared out for that as well.

Of course the data in the AIESEC.net Tallinn community needed to be changed as well. We have our EB picture up and also our contact information. First things first right ;)

No way I can do without e-mailing someone - so I've sent many e-mails to my EB as well regarding different topics (recruitment, transition updates, planning, conference opportunities, etc), now all I have to do is wait for the replies :D

There was also a deep discussion with Marjam, our lovely AIESEC Estonia president, about different important topics such as where AIESEC is heading to, how to change our mindsets, who are we really and how to become the most powerful youth organization in Estonia.

I guess pretty much last, but not least - it was brought to my attention that a lot of people in AIESEC.net Tallinn community had not been approved for their membership status. So, I did that as well, pretty much making a lot of people happy and getting even more e-mails than ever before :)

So, that wraps up my week quite nicely, I'm sure :) There are loads more to come once my exams are over and I don't have to worry about them anymore. Of course there's more transition meetings coming as well (one of them already tomorrow afternoon), but I'm exited and really looking forward to them ;)

And just one more remark before I close this post - watch out, AIESEC Estonia! Tallinn is going to rock your socks off! :D

And so it began

Some emotions from the Group Transition :)

Experience is a comb which nature gives to men when they are bald.

Linnar Viik had a blogpost about Thailand proverb - Experience is a comb which nature gives to men when they are bald. If you think about it - this proverb definitely has a meaning.
But I want to get the comb when I have potential that my hair will grow again - I am trying to loose my first set of hair in AIESEC :).

Cleaning the office

“He who wants to change the world should already begin by cleaning the dishes.” (or EB office for example :))
(Paul Carvel)

Last Saturday I joined Siki´s cleaning team to get rid of trash in AIESEC TTY office. At first I was hesitating a bit, because of the recent AC experience, where there tended to be A Lot of cleaning, but in the end I didn’t regret my decision at all and had an opportunity to spend some good time with friends and be useful. Luckily the office is quite small, so there couldn’t be much trash, at least I thought so… but there ended to be a quite large amount of trash outside of the office. Mainly we found many old papers, flipps, posters etc. especially behind one cupboard J Seemed to be a nice place where to hide not useful things. Anyway, now it’s empty again.

It reminded me one incident of my childhood. I wanted some cornflakes, but accidentally I put keefir instead of milk in the bowl. I couldn’t eat that, because it was disgusting. So I decided to get rid of it and not to tell mom about that. And guess what seemed the best place at the moment? Kitchen cupboad of course. So I poured all the cornflakes with keefir behind the kitchen cupboard hoping it will disappear eventually. Well, obviously it didn’t, and honestly I don’t remember what happened next. Probably mom found it and cleaned it up. So much from hiding things behind the cupboard :)

I want to thank our small office cleaning team for the nice Saturday evening: Siki, Gertel and Marina and hope the EB feels gooood in their nice clean office.

Keep it clean! :P

Winds of change

It's not that long since the New Year's Eve when everyone makes promises for the coming year. Almost two weeks of this year, fabulous 2007 has gone by and what has happened since? It is clearly the time when people look to the coming year and decide what they want to get out of it. From my point of view, I guess it's even more important to do this in the first days of the year, rather than spending last days of the previous year for it.

So have I started to look into the future and I have started to believe what all the astrologists have been saying in different forecasts for this year - year 2007 will be a lot better than the last one, it will bring great success for those who know what they want and know where they want to go. So it's time to set our compasses ready, for that will be one of the things that lead to fulfill all the expectations we have.

However, in the sense of AIESEC, some setbacks that are common to happen in January, have already started. I think that for a People Development responsible, the hardest times are firstly in the fall, sometime in October when you find out about first people who at first thought AIESEC would be cool, but then decide to focus on something else. The second time will come around in January, where people look back to their schoolyear, what they have done in AIESEC so far and decide that it really isn't for them. I do believe that the time is not over yet, it has only begun.

The last period will be the end of May, when the term ends and you're no longer sure what's going to happen with all these people under the new EB. Will they stay, will they go? Will they find new challenges in AIESEC or do they want to achieve so much more in their personal lives? These are tough times for any person in leadership position in AIESEC, but most of all, for the one who really cares for each and every one of the members and doesn't want to see them go at all. The best thing to remember at times like these, is to make sure that I know - it's nothing personal - it's not about what I haven't been doing, not caring enough - it's about people developing so fast these days that they grow out of their own ideas so quickly.

Well, I'm sad to see any of you go, but if you really have to - it was really great to get to know you and I wish you all great success in the future and I do hope that you have found something great out of the times you got to spend with us ;)

God speed,

your PD girl Riina
