Some Thoughts
Last week we were lucky to have Cordelia from UQ intern at the MC office for a week. For the MC, it's very rare that we get to see you guys - the membership who are the ones making things happen on the ground level! So whenever we get visitors (or we visit the NSW LCs haha) it's really exciting for us!
Something I learnt while Cordelia was here was that it's okay to show that you're human, too. Because we don't really get to see you guys often (I miss QCon already) people can tend to think the MC just works 24/7 and are super die-hard passionate all the time. But we're just like you guys - we have bad days, we have a lot of things we don't know, and we also need to have space to have fun and relax. And by allowing ourselves to admit these things, we allow others to realise that it's normal to feel frustrated, confused or pushed to the limits. But what keeps us going is knowing that we're all here for each other as we strive for Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind's potential :)
Have a great week!

#ALLWEHAVEISNOW CHALLENGE!

#hackathon SOLUTION & way forward
"How can we leverage our alumni & past EPs to gain opens in ICX and OGX?"
Winning answer: Ask alumni and past EPs to hold AIESEC talk shows in high schools/ TEDx - long term investment
MC Recommendations for next week:
Since this is a long-term investment, try also thinking how we can use this concept to implement THIS WEEK to drive your opens!
Consider asking alumni and past EPs to drive your information sessions or LCMs, share their experiences to allow others to gain interest in exchange. Also try asking any older alumni you have (if they are working now) on feedback and external advice for iGIP sales - especially if you know someone working in the market segment we're after!
(Otherwise, this is a cool idea to work on in the long term, when you try it out let us all know how it goes!)
