Our meeting with NRG Group went pretty well for what was our first such meeting. Mr. Caldwell, the HR Director put us at ease immediately; definitely a good start and a fine experience. Mr. Caldwell has promised to contact us once he has a suitable vacancy.

On that note, our LC is doing quite well on the Business and Development side of things. We had Harmandeep come and give us a skill session on calling up companies and our members put their new-found skills to good use the following morning. No meetings were raised but the new members did amazingly well; they were so much better than I was when I made my first call! I'm so proud of them!

Come Friday morning, we have yet another meeting with a company. More updates on that soon!

It was about this time last year that 7 of us from City took an easyJet flight and made our way to Munich. Its no coincendence with the date, we were there for the infamous Oktober Fest, the world's largest beer drinking festival.

AIESECer's from all over Germany and TN's (trainees) from Columbia, Spain, Czech Rep., and many more places around the world gathered for a good time and an enormous mug of Baverian beer. In good old AIESEC style we slept in a gymnastics hall on whatever matree/sleeping bag you brought. The event organiser's from AIESEC Munchen set about a busy schedule of sightseeing to all the cultural and interesting sights.

On the acutal Fest days we got seats in huge tents with German folk music blazing in the air. The locals put on their finest Lederhosen and traditional outfits and all in all I can say I had a great time. Special thanks to Marion (City VP 05/06) for making sure City could take along and experience the true impact of AIESEC on a global scale.

It was a hell of a night!

I must admit that I was quite nervous during my way to the meeting. My anxiety increased when I entered the room and realised that everyone was dressed really smartly and I had my yellow AIESEC T-shirt. But the atmosphere was so nice and frindly that I quickly calmed down.

Scott from the previous MC and Laura our new MC president came to help us run the elections and they did a marvellous job.

The whole process went very smoothly. There were separate elections for every role. We had 2 candidates for both LCP and VP PD roles and 3 candidates for both VP OGX and VP ICX. Firstly, all candidates for the particular roles had to go outside the doors and then Laura invited them separately so that they could give their speeches. Every single one was magnificent. After the voting all candidates for each role had to stand in line and the previous EB stood behind them on chairs with glasses of water. After Laura read the results water was poured on the person that won! It was so much fun!!!

When the whole new EB was finally elected we all went to Shakespeare’s for dinner and had really wonderful time.

AIESEC is the international platform for young people to discover and develop their potential. To that end, AIESEC believes in equipping its members with practical skills and it is the reason I decided to give AIESEC a go in my first year in university. I wasn't dissapointed.

One of the notable skill sessions I attended was the one run by Deloitte on negotiation skills. I was a klutz when it came to negotiating; often not getting what I wanted. What I should have done, as learnt from the session, is that I should start with the end in mind; ideally, a negotiation should result in a win-win situation. Compromise if needed be.

Another skill session which I have benefited from was the one on presentation skills. Our Local Community President (LCP), Thomas gave a brilliant talk on the do's and don'ts of giving a presentation. A random topic was then given and at the end of a brief 5-minute preparation, we were expected to speak on that subject. It was nerve-wreaking! It was great practice though. When I ran for the position of Vice President of Business and Development (VPBD), I called upon the guidance Thomas had given and gave a speech that won me the role.

Truly, AIESEC is about you; a chance to develop practical skills. In the coming term, the new Executive Board (EB) has planned several skill sessions which will greatly benefit you. Stay tuned for more updates!
