MCP 16.17 Application AIESEC in Estonia by AIESEC in Estonia

AIESEC in Estonia Member Commi*ee President 2016-2017 Applica6on Package

Dear Candidates,

MCP is not just a position but an experience and one that you will always remember. It’s hard to imagine for me that I am already almost halfway in my term and already having a successor.

Being MCP is one of the most challenging but rewarding things I’ve had the chance to do so far. As MCP of AIESEC in Estonia I’ve seen how much one leader can really accomplish and influence the global plenary. It’s been an incredible journey to see how one person’s vision can shape the entire organisation.

But an MC term is not just one person, but a series of teams, roles, and hats. As MCP I’ve had the joy to work with an incredible team of 8 nationalities all with different mindsets and perspectives, and leading such a dynamic team is incredibly rewarding. As MCP also leading the Board of Presidents and feeling connected to everything happening.

I never truly understand the concept of leadership until this point. Most see a leader as just inspiring speeches or motivation, but it’s so much more. Making sometimes impossible but important choices that affects countless lives. Learning what to fight for, what to accept, putting an entity’s well being above your own feelings or opinions. It’s a definitely not easy; but in leading it’s taught me so much about leadership, about myself, and what I truly value in life.

For those applying, I wish you all the absolute best of luck, both in the process and the experience that awaits.

Fortune favours the bold.    Jeffrey Sweeney MCP 15.16 AIESEC in Estonia
