Crisis Everyone was getting burnt out after a briiilliant RIS. We were losing members who had to commit their time to

putting on a Sh*t-hot July National Conference. We were not hitting our goals, or progressing on our

plans.

We raised no TNs. Still. Disbandment seemed round thecorner. Members personal issues crept into their lives. Exams were round the corner. Fatigue was imprinted on my face, but I had to be the

happy, calm, energetic one. Newly recruited talents were not being engaged. People went MIA. Things were still in their baby stage tottering along,

tumbling, falling, walking unsteadily, never running..

This was a time when I felt most alone, when myspirit got broken, got repaired, got brought to

great heights, only to plummet again.

Honestly, I can give you a HUGE LONG list ofwhat went wrong.

But what is more important is what came after.

Going into National Conference, my spirit was in a

fragile state.. But that soon became history.

Because of YOU.

The best part of my LCP experience was during theSTART conference in Taiwan when I got a lot of sugarcube messages from the delegates (some of them arefrom my LC). It was very gratifying that, through theirwritten messages, I got to know they appreciate what Ihave been doing for AIESEC and the LC. It also means

that the LC people are with me, and together we cancatapult the LC to a greater level of excellence.

Hello @ Melbourne, hi dear Heidi

Being LCP is an extraordinary experience. Leading the LC, coordinating everyfunction, being LC representative towards the whole country is very stressful andresponsible job, but on the other hand...it's an experience I wouldn't change foranything in this world. I used to stay up for the whole days and nights solving someproblems and finding the best solutions so my LC can have better performance, ittakes you so much energy and there are moments when you want to give upeverything, but then you just remember that at the end, great results will come...sodear members of @ Melbourne, respect and support your LCP because Together

Everyone Achieves More. And Heidi, never, never, never give up. There is onequote that was leading me through my term, and I hope you'll find it useful, it says: To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream, not onlyplan but also believe.

Guys, I wish you to have a lot of great results, and the most important, never forgetto have fun

Hey! Greetings from Costa Rica!

Why being LCP has been one of the best experiences I have everhad? Being a leader in @ means you care about people, as LCPone of the main challenges is to motivate and create theenvironment for the membership to reach their goals either inAIESEC or in their life. It has help me out to motivate myself, to getto know me better and how I can impact on people's life and evenbetter feel satisfied when one of your members have reached

everything to the stars! LCP has the knowledge and skills now it isour opportunity and responsibility to create the impact!

A lot of people ask me what being LCP is like, and to be

honest, I never have a ready answer for them. I guess it'sone of the most evolving jobs in AIESEC; everydayinvolves something that's added to your job description.But I will say this: the job of the LCP is thank-less butgratifying. My motto in this job is: "In the end it's alright;if it's not alright, it's not the end".

Hello,

My name is Aika and I'm current LCP of AIESEC Almaty, Kazakhstan.Together with EB I've started my term in May 2007.

The best thing I found out of being President for now is to see the overalldevelopment of the whole organization, when you put all the results byfunction together and see how your LC is performing! And you can see howinch by inch you are coming to realization of the main LC focuses you set upwith AIESEC members during the year planning.

Also, what I really love is that LCP is the one who has to be a real example ofAIESEC person whom each member trust, that's why better never be wrongin your action steps! You can also implement a lot of innovative things fordevelopment of AIESEC culture.

Hmmm, what's keeping me going to be great LCP? Definitely, only my

members and their shiny eyes full of energy and aims to reach resultsfor personal and organizational development! Also I do love a lot my EB they are all energetic girls and we have already some jokes about that J

Best regards,Aika

My LCP term was intense; challenging, inspiring,overwhelming, gutting, glorious, draining, energising all atonce. Precisely because of this intensity I am so grateful for theopportunity I was granted in taking up that role. How manygraduates who work for the Big Four etc... have: led andmanaged 30 volunteers, voted and negotiated within a NationalPlenary stretching across five states, participated in SkollingWest African Style, sent teammates off to Poland, the

Phillipines, Colombia and Beijing and made friends with internsfrom Romania, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Mexico,Bulgaria, Italy and Turkey....the list of unmatchableexperiences could go on for miles.

This was my day job for a year and damned if I would have

it any other way :)

I always knew that there had to be a reason why everyone I metin AIESEC PAIs, AI Directors and MC members always saidthat the best year they had in AIESEC was the year they wereLCP.

It is definitely not overrated I think the best element about the LCPexperience is that you can directly impact your LCs directions,results, culture and membership for years to come this wassomething that was personally and professionally very important forme. I learned more about life, AIESEC and working in a hectic, high

pressured and yet, very fun, environment in one year than I possiblywould have in any other role in or outside of AIESEC

Being LCP is also one of the most challenging positions you can havein AIESEC. I felt that it could be quite lonely, where you feel quitelike a superheroand want to achieve everything, and feel frustratedwhen results dont come in despite putting in hours of work, and

juggling school, family and your social life. There are no personalachievements your achievements are the LCs achievements, and itis often hard trying to figure out what contribution you havemade.

It does not have to be lonely though I discovered an

absolutely amazing LCP network of LCPs from allover the world who I could chat with at 3 in the morningabout anything and everything, and some of them aremy closest friends today. And now when I read news ofmy home LC realizing TNs that were raised & matchedin my year as LCP, or using structures and resources I

created, it makes me appreciate the impact you canmake in one year.

Very simply put and this might seem like a clich:Being LCP means you have the choice to either sink orswim and if you can swim the year through calm

and stormy weather youve got it made.

Best of luck =) Saba Imtiaz, LCP, Karachi Pakistan

The greatest thing about being an LCP is when you start

to notice how the people around you develop. In myopinion, the role of an LCP, or a leader in general, is tocreate an environment where motivated people can dogreat things. It's a huge boost of motivation to me, whenI see how the people around me are getting better andbetter in what they do, because at the end of the day, itwas me who gave them the opportunity to do so and thatis what keeps me going.

My term as LCP was short but sweet. 6 months of starting something fromscratch was simply an eye-opening experience. With very limited resources,

and people; we started AIESEC in Bahrain with literally 12 active people.Now, after 6 months, we're way over 60 active members; which by itself isan accomplishment. Completed two succssful Nation-wide projects; andraising 5 TNs. For 12 people who didn't know anything about AIESEC andto accomplish all this. . . its simply AMAZING.

The best thing i loved about my term was the dedicated team of people that

i worked with. I never in my life depended on someone with critical things,and never had the chance to strategically plan a whole 6-month period. Nowafter my term is over, i just sit back and look at what we have built fromNOTHING. Thinking that exactly 1 year ago, no-one knew anything aboutwhat AIESEC, its vision, or even its impact is. Just to be short, AIESEC haschanged my life 180 degrees. I now have bigger ambitions, clearer goals,and a better understanding of how i want my future to look like.

Heidis LCP wonders

8/14/2019 Lcm - Lcp Time 080707

53/58


I look back and its a wonderhow much i can fit in a day. I feel like such a machine.Its a wonderwhat a fine balance I can strike between living my life and breathing

AIESEC.Its a wonderhow I can study just the day before for my exam and actually pass! (Ormore of just luck.)Its a wonder how my non-AIESEC friends are still my friends.Its a wonder how 42 individuals could make a conference experience so different forme. How I could go in fretting big time, but actually just cruising through it in the end.

Its a wonder how I can receive AIESEC emails from my MLT at 4:39am, and onestellar If I missed out anything that I am supposed to fill up do let me know. Don'thesitate to call me and wake me up in the morning. I wanna make sure I do things

right."...Its a wonder how screwed up my bodyclock can be, but I can still be a normal

person.Its a wonder how meetings can fill up my life!Its a wonder how anxious I can get before and in each EBM even though Ivealready been in tens and hundreds.Its a wonder how peoples reactions and vibes each EBM affects me.Its a wonder listening to the EBs updates and realising Ive been pessimistic andhow much work theyve actually done, and what a good position we are in.

8/14/2019 Lcm - Lcp Time 080707

Its a wonder how much progress we have made, how different our LC feels to whenI joined in 2005.

Its a wonder walking into the office finding people doing AIESEC work, or find out onGoogle Talk that they are doing it overnight, when AIESEC is a non-for-profitorganisation.Its a wonder how impressed the nation is with our LC when all along I silentlyexpected the worst.Its a wonder how many .net updates there are suddenly when .net has been dead to

us for years!Its a wonder how Murad comes up to me, and ask.. How do you get people to use.net so much so fast? My answer.. A certain Isaac from the IS team.Its a wonder how I can be chatting with so many LCPs all around the globe in onenight.

And its a wonder how they are so willing to help, and send me in a little note within 2days when Ive never once met them.

Its a wonder how many altruistic members we have.Its a wonder how many quality members we have.

Its a wonder how AIESEC can bring us all together.

8/14/2019 Lcm - Lcp Time 080707

55/58


Its a wonder how realistic our goals seem and that everyone is working towards usgetting there.

Its a wonder how much impact I can have on someone elses life. (Though I stillsilently doubt this.)Its a wonder having people come up to you telling you that you are their inspiration. Imean.. Really?Its a wonder how much and how little power I have.. Its scary.Its a wonder how much people can grow in 6 months, and how much input I could

have in that..

All in all, its a wonder how fulfilling my life has been, and how much stronger I havebecome because of an LCP term.

Lovin Melbourne,

"A wish for leaders

"I sincerely wish you will have the experience of thinking up a new idea, planning it, organising it, andfollowing it to completion, then having it be magnificently successful. I also hope you go throughthe same process and have something fail terribly.

I wish you could know how it feels to run with all your heart and lose horribly.

I wish you could achieve some great good for mankind and have nobody know about it except you.

I wish that you could find something so worthwhile that you deem it worthy of devoting your life.

I hope you become frustrated and dissatisfied enough to begin to push back the very barriers of yourown personality limitations.

I hope you make a stupid mistake and get caught red handed and are big enough to say those magicalwords "I was wrong".

I hope you give so much of yourself that some days you wonder if it's worth it all.

I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction

and plan and life.

I wish for you the worst kind of criticism for everything you do because that makes you fight to achievebeyond what you normally would.

I wish for you the experience of leadership!"
