The Agenda Managers talk about the conference agenda

   Romanian Youth Leadership Forum, cea mai mare conferinţă din AIESEC România este compusă din mai multe evenimente si forumuri, fiecare vrând sa te inveţe, să te pună pe gânduri, să îţi arate mai multe laturi ale carierei tale în AIESEC, dar mai ales a carierei tale de după AIESEC.

    Ai pus vreodată sub semnul întrebării eficienţa proceselor educaţionale din ţara noastră?  Fii prezent la Forumul Educaţional şi vei avea şansa să întrebi direct reprezentanţi ai Ministerului Educaţiei, ai mediului Universitar sau ai educaţiei non- formale. Vei avea şansa să auzi ce părere au ei şi ce soluţii putem găsi împreună, pentru un sistem educaţional mai eficient în România.

   Eşti proaspăt intrat în Team Member Program? Vrei să înveţi cât mai multe lucruri noi? Eşti membru experimentat şi te gândeşti la un Team Leader Program?

Atunci nu trebuie să ratezi Competencies Building Day unde vei beneficia de traininguri şi workshopuri livrate de alumni AIESEC. De la Time şi Task Management până la Being a Team Player or a Team Leader, Inteligenta Emotionala şi Creative ways of achieiving your goals, poţi alege trainingurile care îţi vor servi cel mai mult în cariera ta de AIESECer.

Dar cum rămâne cu dezvoltarea ta ca și lider?

Cum poți ajunge să ai succes și pe cine poți avea ca si model?

   Fii prezent la Inspire Leadership și provoacă la discuție invitații noștrii. Află de la ei cum definesc succesul și actul de a fi lider. Află cum au ajuns să aibe succes, ce fel de lideri se consideră și ce drum au ales să ajungă acolo. S-ar putea să aveți drumuri similare și să îți găsești un exemplu de ce vrei și tu să fii.

   De cate ori te-ai întrebat “Cum se face într-o companie ce fac eu acum în AIESEC” sau “Ce învăț în AIESEC pot sa aplic într-un job”? Daca te-ai întrebat cel puțin o dată, înseamnă că ți-ai găsit răspunsul la o alta întrebare și anume “Cu ce mă ajută să vin la RYLF și să particip la Youth 2 Business”?

Alte întrebări pe care poți să ți le pui sunt:

·         Astept să mi se spună sau să întreb ce nu știu?

·         Cred că pot asimila și adapta ce se întâmplă în companii pe aria mea?

·         Pot reprezenta AIESEC-ul într-o discuție și să valorific cunoștințele aduse de cealaltă parte într-o discuție comparativă?

   Noi te aşteptăm cu drag, cu mintea deschisă, cu întrebări, cu idei, cu provocări! Această conferinţă nu îţi va servi nimic cu linguriţa, tu eşti cel care va trebui să iei din ea ce ai nevoie!

From Alumni about The Progressive Generation

       1. What made you join AIESEC  and how has that decision influenced your future?

    I joined AIESEC because I wanted to learn new things and to put my ideas into practice. It turned out to be the best choice as AIESEC provided me the perfect environment to develop professionally and personally. In AIESEC I discovered my passion for project management and HR and I learned more that I could imagine. Professionally I am where I am at the moment only because of AIESEC.

          2. Can you describe how you have progressed  as  a member in this organization?

    Because I wanted to learn a lot of things I started in AIESEC to work on ICX and TM, but also on different projects. Following my passion at that time I was VP TM of AIESEC Targu Mures for 2 years (2005-2007) and afterwards Regional Coach in AIESEC Romania (2007-2008), as coach for AIESEC Craiova. All these experiences helped me discover AIESEC and improve my skills

      3. How can you define a progressive generation ?

    For me a progressive generation is a generation that wants to reach its vision and works hard in this regard, a generation that wants to develop and exceed previous results, that always aims for more and gives the best of it.

Personal quote:

“Doing well by doing good”

1. What made you join AIESEC  and how has that decision influenced your future?

    I’ve first heard about AIESEC in high-school, as some friends of mine (already university students) were setting up the local committee in Oradea, my home city. Then, in university I met again with AIESEC people and projects, and I was impressed with this young, enthusiastic, pragmatic, global organization. It was everything that school was not. Their activities had a high impact among students and they were also a lot of fun.

    This decision to join AIESEC had a huge influence going further, in every step of my career so far, and perhaps even more so in my personal life. The skills acquired, the role-models, the contacts, the broadened horizons – they have shaped me professionally. And the friends I met here have been with me ever since. AIESEC has also changed something deep inside of me, nurturing a desire to contribute to society and to act as a change agent.

2. Can you describe how you have progressed  as  a member in this organization?

    The Exchange program has been the main focus of my activity in AIESEC: I started as a Program Director for TDP (Technical Development Program) at a time when exchange in AIESEC Bucharest was at its lowest, and together with a great team we revived and started growing it. From that point on, I coordinated the Incoming Exchange department (named Company Service at that time).Throughout my AIESEC years, I also did quite a bit of IT, mainly in the beginning, then more and more sales and training. Now, as an alumnus, I feel I’m furthering my path and contribution, through teaching and sharing (e.g. delivering trainings, mentoring members, chairing seminars).

3. How can you define a progressive generation ?

    I would define it as a generation that faces its fears, that combines the legacy of its predecessors with its own vision and creativity to build a new path, striving to change and improve the world around, and to leave, in its turn, a legacy that surpasses the one received.

1. What made you join AIESEC and how has that decision influenced your future?

   It seemed to be the best combination between practical learning and having fun as a student. It turned out that I was right!

   In terms of influence on my future many things I do in my business today are powered by the things I learned in my AIESEC leadership terms.

   To continue, my first clients were previous AIESEC partners and colleagues and I still work with some of them today.

2. What made you join AIESEC and how has that decision influenced your future?

   I was first an ICX (sales) member than joined the executive board where I was Vice President Incoming Exchange for one year and Local President for another. 

   I started from doing your regular sales activities, than I got to learn a lot more about leading a team and developing sales development strategies during my leadership teams.

   During my President term I really got to flex my management and leadership muscles. It was a critical step in my evolution as a future entrepreneur.  A lot of my current leadership style is based on what I learned in those days.

  

3. How can you define a progressive generation?

    A generation that takes an active role in its development.

1. What made you join AIESEC and how has that decision influenced your future?

      I have joined AIESEC in March 2007; it was my second try to be accepted in AIESEC. My reason to get in the organization was that I liked the Idea that AIESEC was promoting the fact that we can become something more important in our own lives and a small part of a bigger mechanism that can slowly change in better the world in which we live. Today I still believe that we can change our lives if we find the inner balance and the best position to look over the surrounding world and grasp the reality.

2. Can you describe how you have progressed as a member in this organization?

      As a member in AIESEC Ploiesti I tried to develop my skills and to improve myself as much as possible. I never chose to run for a position of leadership position but I was trying to get involved in all the projects because all the time I believed that a true leader can’t arise if he is not capable to understand and do what his followers must accomplish under his leadership. After a time I chose to take the opportunity and challenge of an internship so I end up for 6 months in The Netherlands working for a Dutch company. This internship has changed my hall life, at this moment I’m still working for the same Dutch company being there Area Manager for Romania country.

3. How can you define a progressive generation?

      I think it is all about becoming better, but this better it is about self-control, understanding of the surrounding environment and adaptation at anything that might challenge you. The adaptation must not drive you from your own path of justice and from your beliefs and principles. If someone is thinking at progress it is a must to be able to grasp the future on long term, to have tons of patience and not in the end knowledge and wisdom to know what to do with this future. Also a progressive generation it must be able to assimilate or to embrace/accept any kind of culture and ideas that will bring peace and fulfillment for the human kind. I think the progress can be achieved if you have couple of this:

Wisdom

Knowledge

Morality

Desire to build

Selflessness

1. What made you join AIESEC  and how has that decision influenced your future?

       My decision was based on a smile I saw when I met a certain volunteer. Her name is Denisa and she was a “Tineri Pentru Tineri” volunteer. She was 17 years old, just like me. Unlike me, she was 5 months pregnant. She didn’t regret it, just thought it had not come at the right time. So she decided to teach contraception to teenagers. Her face showed such contentment when she rubbed her belly and talked about being prepared for not only your life, but also the influence it has on the people around you that I still keep her smile and words in my mind, even if almost 8 years have passed since I last saw her.

           When I got to college (actually, it was my very first day) a guy stopped me on the hallway, put his hand around my shoulders and asked if I wanted to go out for a coffee. My first thought was “Hell, no!” Then I looked at his face. He had (and still has) the same smile as Denisa. I asked why. His reply was “Because you’re gonna be an AIESEC volunteer.” What I didn’t know then is that he is Gabi Caltu, the one that brought AIESEC in Ploiesti and its first president. So I filled up the Application Form, had my interview and got my acceptance form on my birthday. It’s one of the useful birthday presents I ever got.

        My AIESEC experience has mostly influenced me on a personal scale. I have had the amazingly unexpected luck of meeting people that have shown me how to turn my own and other people’s weaknesses into strengths.

           I have made it my goal to raise standards. Starting with mine.

2. Can you describe how you have progressed  as  a member in this organization?

       Over a period of almost 4 years I was a member of the Incoming Exchange, People Development and Communication departments. During this time I developed my skills as a trainer and an interviewer.

         I was a part of the Organizing Committee in 4 conferences, an OCP in another 2 and a project and a coach in a conference.

       I became an alumnus in 2009. Even if I moved in Brasov, I keep in touch with AIESEC Ploiesti and try to help out whenever I can. 

3. How can you define a progressive generation ?

        Man can not force comprehension. It must come by itself.

        When people realize that this whole world we are creating around us needs to be taught how to live so as not to self-destruct, they will turn to the necessity of doing things simply because they are the right moves.

         Progress is nothing without comprehension.
