MCP 17-18
AIESEC in Slovakia
A new challenge is waiting for you! I remember when I was in your shoes, 2 years ago for the first 7me. Even though a lot of 7me passed since then and some things have changed, there are a few that haven’t: 1. Being an MCP is s:ll an awesome job. You’ll get the chance to work with some of the smartest young people around. At the age of twenty-something, you’ll get a such a strong leadership experience that only a few people get, although usually 10-20 years later. You’ll get the chance to explore your passions, prac7ce your strengths and work on exci7ng projects. You’ll have ups and downs but trust me, in the end it’s all worth it. 2. AIESEC in Slovakia s:ll needs great people. The organisa7on is as strong as the people in it. The fact that you’re thinking about this shows that you care and we have many of such people, which is a good start. The ques7on is - will you act upon it? Ac7ons will make your term and people that will be a part of it great.

3. It will be challenging. We develop leadership through prac7cal experiences in challenging environments. Without it, AIESEC would not be AIESEC. If there’s one thing I can promise you, it would be the fact that as MCP, you’ll be challenged on a daily basis. At first, you’ll be stressed and under pressure. But eventually you’ll learn to handle it. When a tough moment comes, remember this:
Challenges are what you came for. And so I have the first challenge for you - you’ll find more informa7on about it in this booklet. I’ll be happy to help you out, so feel free to get in touch with me any 7me. I have my fingers crossed for you. Rock it! Tomáš MCP
