STRAIGHT

FROM THE

LCPDear Applicant,

There are some occasions in life where it is difficult to find the right words. This is one of those

occasions for me. The role of Executive Board of AIESEC Ilorin is the most demanding experience –

intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially – that I have ever been through. At the same time, every

day it remains the most important, rewarding and purpose driven experience I have ever had the

privilege to live.

Every day I wake up with the mission to make AIESEC Ilorin bigger and better – and importantly –

with the opportunity to do so. This role is an exercise of serving a purpose bigger than yourself.

Am proud that AIESEC Ilorin is becoming such a purpose driven organization – that we are working to

enable more and better experience. Being President of AIESEC Ilorin gave me the opportunity to be

who I truly am, and lead something I truly believe in towards where I believe it must go. And that is

how it s going to be for you too

It gives you the humility to see your world as it truly is, and the audacity to shape it as you want it to

be.

You will find the application and the questions asked challenging. They are intended to start

preparing you for the most intense and rewarding leadership experience.

For your Digestion:

“Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else”

“The unique ability to create impact with your presence and have it felt in your absence”. –

LEADERSHIP.

“The trait that inspires and influences the actions, thoughts and beliefs of others”.- LEADERSHIP

“Taking a stand, and inspiring others to do so”.- LEADERSHIP

“Creating a vision and seeing its realization through your efforts and that of others under your

direction” -LEADERSHIP.

Leaders are born … Leaders are made, What do you think? AIESEC believes Leadership can be

developed. If you share in this vision, come on board and contribute to inspiring and molding

leadership at AIESEC .

With All my Heart,

Obineye Ayowale O.

Creative leadership, collective intelligenceWRAP UP

These are some tips coming from the EB team that have the aim to help you feel relaxed

before and during the process and help you prepare yourself mentally.

YOU

Find time to sit back and reflect on yourself and your goals, motivation and vision about the

upcoming year. It’s very important: it would be one year of your time and you would like to

be sure you want that unforgettable experience.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Talk to them about your future plans and the areas you want to develop in. They can give you

some valuable pieces of advice, as well as give their support about you intentions.

EB

If there are any questions that you don’t have the answer to about the position you want to

apply or the experience or responsibilities, don’t hesitate to approach each and every

member of the current EB team for talk, advice or if you need help. That will help you make

yourself more clearly with yourself and your motivation.

We also recommend talking with other people that would also apply in order to

see what their attitude is and of course get to know who might be your future

teammates.

I WISH YOU THE BEST!!!
