The small things..

Today is the first Monday as President of AIESEC Norway

So what has happened today? Basically we had our first weekly meeting, which I was leading. I am happy as the meeting achieved the outcomes desired and was on time. Sounds like a small thing, but in fact it is not for me as these operational tasks make up a significant part of my job. Some years back I was part of a team where we had meetings which went overtime, were often unproductive, and where the agenda was unclear or not followed. It was crap.

So basically that's it. The first Monday morning of my term.

Day 1: Sun

So that's how it feels like. Around 9 hours after I walked into the office this morning as MCP of AIESEC Norway I am about to leave it now.

It's good to get started - feels right. And it's good to have the team already starting to feel their place.

Funny fact/curiosity. For the 3rd year running the successors of the previous board has taken the seat of his/her predecessor - exactly. Talk about "picturing" yourself in the seat of someone - literally.

First action this morning was to clean the well overdue, extremely dirty office. Now it is nice and shiny.

Important and clearly significant: Today it is sunny AND warm, which given the summer we are having seems not irrelevant. The gods must know it was our first day
