Amazing NLDS in Benin

Yesterday, when I was back home from Benin, I was wondering about what the National Leadership Development Seminar (NLDS) of Benin has brought to me as added value. My response was immediate after reminding of what said Aldous Huxley “Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you.” It’s clear that receiving interesting trainings on leadership don’t mean I’ll be without any conditions leader. It’s up to me to put in practice what those talented FACI taught me. By constantly keeping in mind what I learned during Benin NLDS, by putting it in practice, I will be able to see that added value.

After the theory, then comes the practice. Time of action has come!

Now, I would like to share my feelings about the NLDS of Benin. Particularly, my concern is about young people I met, with whom I discussed.

Amazed I’ve been during this seminar. I was amazed, really limitless amazed

Amazed to see real openness! Everybody was open and cooperative

Amazed to see sincere commitment! All AIESECers with whom I discussed were speaking of the relevance of AIESEC, of the change the organisation brings to their life, and of their dedication to AIESEC activities.

Amazed to see courage! These young have left all behind in their hometown in favor of the conference. Some of them had courses, had to work, but they took break for all their activities and dedicated their precious time to this conference. That seems to me to be a real courage and sincere dedication

Amazed to see ambition! I was astonished by their positive attitude. Precisely, I can say that they are all opportunistic in the good sense. They are looking for opportunities. When they speak, we see the will to move forward by the desire to explore various opportunities.

Amazed to see fun and craziness! AIESEC is an organisation of young hard workers where we can find explosive fun and crazy!

I love you all, friends from Benin NLDS. You strongly impressed me. And your attitude reinforces my desire to set up AIESEC in Burkina Faso

Hope to keep in touch with all of you.

aiesecly!!!!!!!
