I am the proudest MCP in the world.

I have no idea where I found these talented, high-performing, resilient, result-oriented, funny, sarcastic, easily annoyed, happy, engaging, honest, supportive, beautiful humans that are my team. Thank you for the journey so far. The ups and downs. The results and the failures. They are ours to keep forever.

Let's be scared and proud together. Leading together. It is time for our final.

Management --> Leadership

Time to leave the management comfort zone, as K. pointed out today. Time to enter the uncomfort zone of Leadership again.

Here we go. 4 months left

2 months that flew by

It's been almost two months since I wrote anything on this blog, which only goes to show the intensity of my life in that period. Briefly said:

• 2 weeks of an FK seminar and project delivery time
• 1 week of pan-national Scandinavian conference in Copenhagen, where my successor got elected
• 1 week of chairing Winter NatCo in Hungary, an outstanding experience
• 1 week of managing urgent and important matters
• 2 weeks in Mexico at the International Presidents' meeting

While all this has been happening we have arrived at 61 Exchanges Realized for our 10-11 term in AIESEC Norway. And with 4 months to go, including the summer peak for sure we have the chance to make history.

More than anything I have started to really reflect about my AIESEC Experience. The 4 different leadership roles I have had, and especially the President's role that I am living every year this year has changed me fundamentally. To an ever larger extent I see my purpose as serving this extraordinary organization. Up until the last two weeks that was mainly AIESEC Norway, and organization that was in disarray when I joined but is starting to find its identity, while still being fragile. Sincerely, I feel proud of my experience and my contribution. I feel that I have made a difference in loads of people's lives, as well as for the future of this organization.

But now what? IPM is well known among Member Committee Presidents (of which I am the current in Norway) to deeply impact those who care about the future also of the global organization. Those striped people from AIESEC International leading the organization and making you wonder.

Inspired and engaged, a part of me suddenly got this strong urge to keep serving, to keep learning. On the other hand, is that the right path for me. Is it the right choice in this moment in time? Or is it time to close the organizational experience with pride and success?

I guess I will feel it in some way or another next couple of weeks in Norway. Exciting times? For sure choices to be made. Where will the coin drop? Wish me luck in my pondering...
