Hence, I was able to develop both personally and professionally in these terms, and was able to empower my crave in knowledge in new areas.

Briefly list your experiences and results achieved and describe how these experiences will help you accomplish your goals during your term. (200 words maximum) I have been in AIESEC one and a half years in two different areas: IGIP and AD IGIP, at first I had to break the fear of dealing with entrepreneurs and I needed to know what each one wanted and deliver the idea that AIESEC is your best bet, that is, knowing how to sell correctly and relevantly. Following that is being a VP. This helped me in learning to manage a team, being aware of needs of the function by researching and finding new and innovative. I improved relations with trainees and companies; at the beginning they didn’t have a good idea of AIESEC, also getting practice for trainees with broken match. This has helped me to work in a team, able to work with the other areas, how we need to learn to work with different kind of people and learn from them, also that the motivation for the team is the most important and could influence whether a member stays in AIESEC or leaves it for good, and how is their work, also that we are role models for each and every member, where we are seen high and looked up to, thus all our actions influence others no matter how small they were
In maximum 100 words, Please name your greatest challenge that you faced during your AIESEC experience. What was the challenge, how did you overcome it and what have you learned from this? (100 words maximum) Definitely my biggest challenge was being a VP. when I started I didn’t have the necessary knowledge of the area, but by researching, asking and trying; I was successfully able to achieve to know everything you need with it, know how to train the team, learning to be a leader, distribute tasks, treat each of the members separately and for best results, Most importantly I learned how to make GIP Happen. Also they had innovative ideas and to improve relations with companies and trainees.

Also I believe that IGIP’s and OGCDP’s MoS are not clear and needs to be improved, recruitment for OGCDP needs to innovate to have more numbers, in our university people know about AIESEC, now we need to make students interested on it. Therefore I believe as a VP MKT I will be able to develop and innovate in them to have new structures to know how to attack companies with a market segmentation and EPS. 2.How do you understand PRACTICALLY being collaborative, purposeful and action oriented? What can you do for your LC to ensure that each member is living those behaviors? I see these three things as opportunities to develop and grow more, for if one followed these things, development and booming into a stronger person and a stronger AIESEC member is a must” 3.Describe 4 in your opinion the most important synergies between EB members. How can you strengthen them? • See the strengths and weaknesses of each member and work on them. • The way you work, the way members work, if the VP fulfills dates and send everything on time, are motivated and works well, the members will follow the same way. • Look how you area can work with other area to have a best result. • Communication inside and outside AIESEC, so is the person best known and improves the relationship 4.What kind of actions can you do to maintain legal and financial sustainability and generate profit? Market study for the companies that we will attack so we can have effective dates, ownership of membership to have better recruitment of members, market study for OGCDP and implement new forms of recruitment, work with LCs of other countries to make them sure we are the best option so they can send us their EP´s and if they are a good option we can send them our EP´s that want to travel that country, events for positioning AIESEC UP with sponsorships, working for IGIP or IGCDP, and giving the necessary focus, positioning AIESEC UP in the university and external companies.

6.
How would you implement TEAM minimums in your LC? Please refer to; http://
www.myaiesec.net/content/viewfile.do?contentid=10299095 Now we know how areas work but we dont know how effective is the member of each area. This LC needs to envolve more the members, first knowing what each member wants and expect of AIESEC, look how they develop en their areas and see if they are following the way they want or learning new things, is all about tracking, we suppose VPs are doing the correct work with their members but the importat is to be sure of it. Members will follow VP steps, there must be tracking and feedback for VPs and members, in a companie is not usual to do this so it’s a pefect way of realizing how we work, be better and look for being an excelent leader.
