Leadership Gala

Leadership Gala: the place where the leaders from Iasi get together!

Friday, June 22nd, 19:00, at Moldova Hotel from Iasi, the Leadership Gala took place. The purpose of this event was to gather together AIESEC Iasi Alumni, Returnees and representatives of the corporate environment, in order to change ideas and experiences and identify common needs, on which they can capitalize upon. Also the local companies had the chance to find out more information about AIESEC as a leadership organization.

In the second part of the evening, the teams involved in Entrepreneurship Excellence Project were rewarded for their work, and for the business plans that they conceived during the preparation program that took place in the January-June period.

After that, we had a party in Blackout. You can find most of the pictures I've made in the album below. Just click and enjoy! ;)

From Trainee to Trainer

I have to admit that ever since I've joined AIESEC, even from the Induction period, a warm thought has invaded my mind:

"Hey, I'd really love to be a trainer, someday..."

Since then I was waiting for the day when I'll receive a mail saying:

Hey shinny happy @ people!
I know you were waiting for a long time... and now, you finally have the chance... to become TRAINERS!

...And on Monday, the 11^th of June, Pitu did send us that lovely announcement! \:D/

Because every journey starts with a first step, as a LEVEL 0 TRAINER, my responsibilities would have been:

• Participate in the "Training Design" preparation program organized by the PD dept;
• Take part into trainings as a co-trainer;
• Make researches on given topics for the trainings library;
• Facilitate groups during a training;
• Fill training impact evaluation forms.

Next steps:

• Sending my motivation letter till Friday, the 15^th of June;
• Saturday, the 16^th of June, interview time!

Everything went as planned, the interview was nice and friendly, Ana and Pitu got a chance to enjoy the air conditioning on that torrid day and we got a chance not only to answer questions, but to have a nice dialog; at least I know I did! Because there were no less than 32 motivation letters some people got interviewed only today, but... thanks to the effectiveness shown by the girls, we also got the results today: we have 24 level 0 trainers!

During selection, the following competencies and abilities were considered:

• Adaptability
• Empathy
• Communication
• Self-awareness
• Respect
• Accountability
• Motivation
• Level of engagement (past & future)
• Role awareness

After all this being said, as announced by our LTTC, Pitu, the new level 0 trainers are:

• Silvia Calenic
• Paula Tuduri
• Alexandra Macarie
• Anca Ursu
• Alex Focea
• Cristi Ambrozie
• Ioana Petrica
• Iuliana Simciuc
• Marius Butuc
• Anda Niculescu
• Delia Sopca
• Catalina Cojocaru
• Manuela Birsan
• Alexandra Schiopu
• Adina Ianau
• Andrei Piftor
• Alina Cozma
• Anca Vizitiu
• Simona Berbec
• Dana Chiriac
• Ruxandra Bucevschi
• Alexandru Popa
• Paul Stanciu
• Ionut Maxim

As you see, I did make it! Only one thing to say: "Me happy!"
What's next? Taking part in the TTT program and advancing to LEVEL 1 TRAINER.
But before all of that, I'll just go back to completing my SN form now...

Iashington 2007 Site - v0.9

It is almost done, just waiting for approval from the Image Dept.

Ready to be tested and I really hope some flaws / mistakes will be found (to prove the tester's quality :-P) so we can make it at least "almost-perfect"!

Here is how it looks:

If you want find more details about the project, or just want to give it a try, it is now available online... Enjoy!

Iashington 2007 New Identity

You might have read around here about one of the greatest (pretty fresh) projects of AIESEC Iaşi: Iashington 2007!

Besides the "proud to be part of the team" feeling, I have some piece of news for you! We finally have a new cool identity, thanks to Iulian, and his smart identity lab! The team and I are very grateful for his big help!

A bit behind deadline, we are now working on the Web site. Hope to joyfully announce it's "opening" soon! ;-)

To be continued...

Privacy Policy :P

Starting today, most of my photo-albums on PicasaWeb will not be that public anymore, since I have decided to "share" that 1Gb of space. That is why some albums are now unlisted, and you will only be able to access them from here.
Hope this will not bother anyone, and that I will eliminate all dead links asap. ;)
