...I took my notes from the conference and realised that no matter how many notes I have in my laptop, how many smart words I keep in my mind- I should allways benefit from the experience of other people who have taken already the challenge to make their dreams come true...
Why am I writing about it? Well, we have now holiday time- the period of intensive preparation to the new term. At the beginning of july I asked myself whether I am able to use all my potential, all my time, all the possibilities around me to execute all my plans. And then, I went to Cracow to attend functional meeting. I met there one Alumni who is former LCP of Cracow. She prepared special session for the delegates to talk about her experience, her outstanding motivation to wake up every day with the same determination to achieve her ambitious goals on professional and personal level...And she did it. Thanks to her passion and strong will. Now she is successfull person that everyone'd like to be...Meeting with her was one of the most inspiring moment during the seminar.
But still, Member Committee prepared for us many other sessions in order to prepare new EB members to fulfill their role in Local Committees: training by PriceWaterhouseCoopers about competencies and recruitment, trainings by MCVPs about our functional area: ER, TM, MC,X,F, group exercises, case studies, etc- lot of knowledge in short period of time. From the mornings till the evenings we had no free time- even meals were served on the hall- we used to sit on the floor with no chairs, no tables- but next to our session rooms :D and we were savouring these moments of break :D
One week after functional meeting I'm calling the seminar to my mind- knowledge I took, people I met, delegates I had fun with and I'm saying to myself:
"I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
