Just some last words as MC @BAZI 06/07...

It was posted in @BAZI Community on June 29th

Hey AIESEC BAZI!!!

Today is, oficially, the last working day for the MC 06/07... the last day when the HIKERS are leading @BAZI...

On Monday a new team is starting... a high talented team that will, for sure, rock the house...

So, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for each one of you that made part of this year, of this incredible experience that I had...

During this year, I had moments when I was totally lost, didn't know what was my role and where I was supposed to go... but I also had moments when I was very happy, celebrating results...I had moments when I wanted to give up, but I also had moments when I thought being MC was the best choice I did...I had moments when I hated SP and living in the MC house, but I also had moments of discovering the city and shared good moments with the people in MC house...I had moments where I worked a lot and was totally exhausted... and then had moments when all the work and nights without sleep were worth!

In all these moments I learnt, I grew, I developed, I became a better professional and a better person!

So... THANKS for all the people that made this year be special for me...

Thank you RE, SS, BS, RP, USP, UB... Thanks for teaching me how to be a coach, thanks for being open, for trusting, for building together... thanks for being more than coachees, but being my friends! Thanks for the coach visits, the time I spent in your cities, the talks about personal stuff, the sharing, the parties...Thanks for aiming to be the best, for yur ambitious... keep this and you'll grow a lot in your LCs!!

Thank you FZ, LD, GO (and again RP and UB)... thanks for showing me all the enthousiasm to build a new AIESEC... thanks for trusting and letting me be part of this new @ you were building... and thanks for the friendship we could build even in few time... you are awesome people and I'm sure you'll build strong @ in your cities!

Thank you Project Leaders (VPs, OCPs, PDs, PMs... all the people that worked hard to implement projects in @BAZI)... thanks for believing in our strategy and putting all your will and energy to make it happen! Thanks for your hardwork, for sharing knowledge, for learning together with me, for giving me feedbacks, for being supportive and for asking questions... you're pioneers in the Project Implementation... and if @BAZI can grow to reach our goals for 2010, I'm sure you'll be essential part of it!

Thank you NSLs for working with me, for leading the results in your strategies, for supporting my strategies... Thanks for being HIKERS together with us, for building together, for leading @BAZI with us... and thanks for being good friends, for sharing not just the hard moments, but also the good ones... you're amazing individuals and I wish you all the best in your strategies and in your personal development... I really want to see you rocking and celebrating a lot your results in the end of your term!

Thank you members of @BAZI!!! You made my year worth!! You helped me growing!!
I'm saying good-bye today... but I'm sure we'll still meet, we'll work together again, we'll keep in touch, we'll still be friends!!

I'm very happy to have lived this intense and wonderful year!! I'm very happy for all that we built, for all the people I met, for all the friend I made!!

Hikers Teamdays #4

noreply@blogger.com (Bárbara) — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 21:51:00 +0000

Last weekend the Hikers went to Itapecerica da Serra (yes! the same place where we'll have CONADE) to have our MC TEAMDAYS!!

This is the 4th time we get together to have teamdays...

We did some things that we do every teamdays...

Feedback session, where we have the competencies assessment results and receive feedbacks to help our development...

Analyze @BAZI's current state, paint the map and review MC plan...

Discuss about the LC's reality (using the cluster analysis) and do qualitative analysis (what gives us the tendencies)

Lots of interesting discussions... about important topics for this time of the year...

And of course... we had fun!

(dancing roll calls)

(playing like children)

(jumping in the pool... yes, Gabiru is jumping over Rod)

This time we had Danilo (NSL CSR) participating with us... and also Diogo (NSL SP/PR) and GI (OCP CONADE) in some specific sessions

What was very cool in this teamdays was that we could enjoy CONADE's site and start imagining how the conference will look like...

the restaurant...

the pool...

the rooms...

Some other cool places there...

Teamdays was very cool... a very important moment for us to see our results so far and evaluate how we are enjoying our experiences and how much we've learnt in this MC term :)

Also, it was good to bring us the needed energy for the 3 last months of our term

So... be prepared, because we'll rock CONADE!!!! The site is awesome and the Hikers are full of energy!!!

Thanks Hikers for sharing this moment with me!! :)

Gabiru sharing his passions...

noreply@blogger.com (Bárbara) — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 03:19:00 +0000

We implemented a very cool schedule of activities in our MC team...

We call it "Momentos de Calidad"... and they are moments when we have our team together to do something really nice.

So, we have 2 kinds of "Momentos de Calidad"... and we have 1 activity per week, alternating between the 2 kinds...

This way, we have "Sharing my passions" and "Cooking for the team"...

"Cooking for the team" is when the MC member is resposible for cooking something for the whole team... we can cook food from our countries (or regions in Brasil), from countries we've been to... or simply something that we really like to eat (and cook!) to share with the team

"Sharing my passions" is a moment when the MC member chooses something he/she likes to do and invites all the team to do together with him/her.

So... this week we had the 1st Momento de Calidad... when Gabiru shared his passion with us...

He prepared a night of playing pocker!!!

All of us learnt how to play pocker... and we bet "War coins" (yes, that small red, blue, green, etc. ones from War game... hehehe)

So... some pictures for you...

The cards are ready...

Gabiru preparing everything...

Then, classes for those who didn't know how to play

The guys, very concentrated on the game

How can I win something with these cards??? :P

Juli was the big winner... (people here call it "sorte de principiante"... hehehe)

Thanks Gabiru for sharing your passions!!! It was very nice to play with you guys!! :)

And the next activity is going to be Bárbara Cooking for the Team!! (It's going to be an Argentinian Night! :D pictures here soon)

MC is painting the House!!

noreply@blogger.com (Bárbara) — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 01:20:00 +0000

They are a team that work hard...

They scream...

They like strange objects...

They love each other...

Actually, they love all the members of @BAZI...

They also have cooking skills...

They like to take pictures...

...and to dress beautiful for the pictures...

Some of them have special powers...

...others try to scape when the work is too hard...

But in the end they are a very normal team...

... or not!!

Teamdays

noreply@blogger.com (Bárbara) — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 02:23:00 +0000

At 23, 24, 25 and 26 of July our team went to the 1st TEAMDAYS :)

We started sharing the "river of our lives"... and discovered some interesting points about each other lifes...

After sharing the past, we also shared the future... our dreams, our personal vision... and we connected to the others

We get to know ourselves better... discovering our streghts (and sharing them with others... to see how we complement each other)

(the cards on the grass are the strengths we have as a team)

We also went through a process to define how we wanted our team to be... how we wanted the team environment, the behavior... and we arrived to our PRINCIPLES and our BRAND :)

*** it was a very interesting moment... because in the 1st day we discussed a lot about the expectations, the behaviors, the values we wanted to have... and we had more than 5 flipcharts full of ideas, words, sentences that we wanted to include in our brand...
than, during the night, while some people were drinking, Gabiru was alone somewhere in the house, writing...
and, in the next morning, he came to us "I've tried to compile our ideas"... and presented us the most wonderful thing we could have: our brand was defined!! And we could totally identify ourselves to that!! :D

After having the principles we started to think about our name, our "slogan", the image we wanted to be identified with... (many crazy ideas came... hehe)

Ah... of course we also shared our personal lifes playing "I've never..."

Then, we started the planning...

... lots of discussions about product leadership, our role in SSGN, some specific topics (as conferences, regionalization, coaching) and, of course, everything we brought from pre-plan discussions

... action plan for our CSFs

... discussions about "what are we going to do without Deeptesh?" "how to split his job between us?"

... definition of how we will work with the NFAs... how we will work with our Projects in the MC

... definition of the taskforces, initiatives... our roles in the team... and, finally:

(this is how our structure will look like!!)

Spend 4 days away from the MC house/office was very good for us... (thanks Diogo!!)

... we had wonderful breakfests...

... we played soccer, volley... and... hum... had fun!! (hehehe)

MC Team 06/07 - Fully commited to our role, our principles, our plan...

Now... it's EXECUTION time!! :D
