My IC experience as an AI member

It is hard to believe but I have never had a more relaxing conference than that. I think it is due to the fact that I didn’t have relatively huge responsibilities comparing to some other team mates and I was already trained on dealing with extra high pressure during conferences – for example in Hungary when we didn’t have enough money for a conference and the OC was not experienced enough, I had to keep track on every single cent in order not to make a loss…and connect to the delegates and deliver high quality sessions in the same time. Or in South Africa where the success of the Annual General Meeting determined the long term future of AIESEC South Africa, and I was aware of this…Such a pressure was not on my shoulders at IC but to be honest I was not satisfied about it because in this way I didn’t feel challenged at all…On the other hand, we could experience the first clashes in the team, the first really stressed moments and the first happy moments as well, to the extremes, when our tears came out – even though it was the sign of happiness and not the sign of sadness.
As for me, all my IC goals have been achieved, and by the end of IC I felt that I was more connected to the global network than ever, people got to love me and appreciate me – which is very important for me in my work.

Overall, IC has been the platform for great learnings and great realisations for me!!!!
