The challenge of being a Leader!

Today I feel like sharing with you my latest AIESEC experience: being coordinator (OCP) on autumn recruitment . Believe me when I say though that no story compares to the real fact.

No matter how many times you have heard people talking about what they’ve been through, what challenges they’ve faced or how many walls they have climbed, it will always be unexpected, frightening, exciting and exhausting to actually live every little detail.

When you see somebody else coordinating a project you might be temped to say that it is not that hard or that challenging. Yet, behind the curtain lays the actors, the smallest things that can assure the success or the failure of your work. Every detail has a purpose and every action has its consequences.
During this recruitment I lived the most various and contradictory feelings. There was always something intense and out of the
blue that changed the color of the day from gray to white, from green to blue, from yellow to red. Every hour was another painting with other landscapes, other faces, other variables.

You may wonder what have I gained from all this. Nothing material I can assure you, although I am richer than a while ago and craving for similar experiences. You may believe me or not but challenging yourself is the best thing that you can do.
Things might not always be the way you want them to be, expectations might not be entirely fulfilled, but in the end nobody can take from you that part that changed, the things that became small pieces of yourself, the knowledge and the colors that painted your heart.

And do not forget that no matter what you do there will always be critics…but also praises.
