after DD

The DD was freakin' really amazing!

I arrived later than the other EBs so I wasn't there during the some trouble that happened in the morning, so I was spared of the small stress.

The first day was really hurried because I had sessions to finish (shame on me...) and it took hours to be able to get to my room and leave my stuff. Also in the first day we had a really good session of BPDF for the leadership team and old members.

Even though I've attended sessions with this content twice, it's very different when it's facilitated by people with both knowledge and experience (in this case, Anna and Rey). The session was interactive, we've got to discuss a lot of those topics. I talked a lot, because leadership theory and sessions with the leadership team are things that I definetely love.

The only thing that annoyed me during the first day is that I was having no contact with the new members, so it wasn't being as fun as I thought it would and also I was afraid I would not get to meet them at all during o___O

But then after the party (... now I could write a lot about the party, but let's leave it for other occasion ...) the second day came by, along with my session!!!

My session, my session :D!!! The chance I had to show up to the new members (in AIESEC, nobody wants to be a stranger to the LC, and this can happen easily if you miss a DD). I had fun facilitating it, I hope they also did.

So overall (because it's late and I have e-mails to send) I'm very glad with the entire selection process and DD outcome. I like the profile of the new members, we have a much bigger structureto allocate them AND we are paying a lot of attention to our team leaders, the choice of an induction coordinator saved a lot of time from the EB, and we ended Q1 with good results.

Now after the DD I feel very glad because things are developing in a very sustainable way. I know we will face unexpected trouble during the year, but I think @PA is in the way to the Best LC of the year award (I really do).
