Adaptation and flexibility

Recently, the team has been all about adaptation. Adapting themselves to their new roles, adapting themselves to their team, to our team and to other people on our team. I must say that these past weeks as an LCP haven't been easy as I'm deeply concerned whenever people on my team have a problem with eachother. A very smart person told me that is was normal for them to go through this storming phase and made my day. I've also been adapting myself to my team and keeping on to the promise I made to myself of being more open when something is bothering me. So far, I think I've done great but it's not easy at all.

My local committee has also been about adapting themselves to the new members, the new rythm, the new EB. The new members are slowly trying to find their spot on this big Laval boat. Bringing some of the new members to MUCH LDS really made me proud (and nervous at first). It was my first outing as an LCP and I really wanted this first experience to be perfect. It worked! The new members who were there really are passionate about AIESEC now and they come to our activities and to our office. That means a lot to me :)

Here are some inspiring quotes from new members:

"I've talked to more strangers in two days than since i got to Canada a year ago.."
" I wasn't ready to have fun but I did. I wish I had come prepared to fully embrace all the atmosphere."
