JCI Values
I've had the privilege of attending the many programs that are held within Area North in Q3 and are glad to witness the drive and dedication of our young leaders for doing such a remarkable job.
There is a long journey ahead of us in JCI and I ask all of us to stay united and to be bold in stepping forward.
Page 04
I encourage all our members to not be afraid of these challenges but to face it head on and to rise above it and overcome it together
Rise Up
Wei Jian Area Chairperson
-Confucious
Now, of course the more we do, the more mistakes we tend to make; and I would argue that this is the greatness of JCI because it provides our members an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and through this experience develop ourselves
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall.

Area Initiative
To prepare our next generation of leaders that will lead the area and nation, JCI Malaysia Area North have launched an intiative called "Area Leadership Institute" (A L I) The program is a four part series that aims to immediately elevate the competency and standard of leadership candidates and to create a support network amongst its participants to be better
The initiative believes in "Better Leaders, Better World" and it closely aligns to JCI's tagline which is to developing leaders for a changing world
The second A L I module, Speak with Confidence was trained by Mr Will Teh, a fellow JCI member who is no stranger to the public speaking world. This module covers the basics of how our participant should communicate their thoughts and ideas because if they want to lead, they will need to speak (well)
"The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them "
The first A.L.I module was kick started by two reputable speakers, our National President Ellen and ADUN Pulau Tikus YB Chris Lee on 27th August 2022 The first module covered the reason that we lead in JCI and beyond to prepare our participants a journey that they will embark on.
There will be two more sessions for our A L I participants so stay tuned!
