LC MEETING FOR AUGUST 5th
Hey AIESEC!
If you were at the last meeting you know we
learned a lot and had fun too. However if you weren’t there, you seriously
missed.
The atmosphere this week was up! As we
walked in we were assigned numbers so we could pair up.
Everyone was smiling and pumped for the
meeting as Hassan took over. Everyone was asked
-where they would like to go and
-Why they would like to go there
Several people mentioned Rome for its
history and Egypt for its monuments. Others mentioned China and someone even
said Ibadan! We found out that Hassan would also like to go to Egypt not just
for the monuments but to meet an Egyptian lady he can marry. *well that’s why
he is hassan*
Hassan ended by mentioning that AIESEC is
our platform to reach all these places and experience their cultures. He
promoted several programs that focus on Exchange like: CEED (2 weeks in a
country to work and join an FA), GE (2/3 months working for which you won’t get
paid), GCDP and GIP.
Guess what???? Mujidah was in the house!!!. She was formerly the LCVP TM in AIESEC Lagos
and is now MCVP TM for AIESEC Nigeria. Thumbs up Mujidah! She congratulated us
on the awesome work we’ve been doing so far but pointed out that we needed to
be more committed, know where we are headed in our AIESEC experience and we
should stop coming LATE!.
Olaoluwa came up for the next session on
Emotional Intelligence also known as Emotional Quotient (EQ)
EQ refers to the capacity to recognize
one’s feelings and others as well. He pointed out that while having a high IQ
was good, EQ is also very important because the more Emotionally intelligent
you are, the more successful you tend to be.
What traditionalists say about emotions is
that they must be controlled because they inhibit the free flow of data.
Modernists however view emotions as something to be managed because they can
help us build trust and increase our confidence in ourselves.
Emotions may be psychological or
physiological. The physiological aspect deals with the physical output that
internal emotions give. People easily notice the emotions here.

The psychological aspect is divided into
Personal and Social.
Personal is divided into
-Self awareness
This involves being aware of your emotions
and how your feelings affect you or being aware of your strengths and
weaknesses. It also involves learning from your experience and being able to
make decisions and enforce them.
-Self regulation
This involves being absolutely committed
and refusing to be distracted by the red tape in any organization
-Self motivation
This involves learning how to make your
motivation come from within. It focuses mainly on setting goals and seeking
continual improvement.
The social aspect is divided into
-Empathy
This involves learning to put oneself into
another person’s shoes.
-Relation Management
This involves learning how to manage ALL
your relationships.
He ended by saying, inability to notice
your feelings leaves you with an uncertainty about your life and people that
have a better handle are able to pilot their lives.
After this, we had our matching game.
We were asked to learn as much as we could
about our partners and were then quizzed on what we knew. Also guys we had AIESECers from Ilorin pay us a visit this Friday!!!! Awesome!
