 1. Why do want to run for
role?
I remember my excitement when being a newbie and listening to seniors’
stories of AIESEC experiences at my first ReCo, remember how much I
admired their dedication, how moved I was when witnessing their life-
turning, how proud I was when seeing the really great job that these
young people was doing and how happy I was when realizing that this
world was still taken care of to be better everyday. To be honest, I
didn’t even know what I was gonna do at that time and how I could
be that dedicated, great and prideful. Without experiences, I
couldn’t understand much about what is AIESEC way or mission or
blue things, but these living proof showed me that how amazing
to have a common dream with a big group of people and do
something together to make it come true. That is my reminder
to keep me awake whenever I want to give up at my first few
months in AIESEC, to commit to the end to see the change.
Thus, by all my experiences, I just want to light a small fire in
our new generation to connect them to one common fire
that all AIESECers are maintaining. This is also a great
chance for me to boost up my skillset of facilitation when
join in amazing group of OC and other Facis.

Last week, I facilitated for one session in our
Local Chapter meeting which aimed to sum up
Summer peak and kick off Winter peak’s
performance. Mine was reflection session which
was space for LC members to understand what

People are not too amused or excited by my
activities but they feel relaxed and easy to

At the end of LCM, one of my them give me an
compliment that this is the least boring reflection
session ever.
I’m not the kind of facilitator who have inspirational or emotional speeches, or strong call-to-action to encourage audiences
doing something or amazed activities. I prefer get close to the audiences, joining them in every action, thinking, create a
comfy and secure space for them to be themselves. I don’t tell them what to do, what to learn, I accompany them on the way
realizing their own findings, learnings and for my own as well. Somehow, my facial expressions or gestures or character
usually make listeners find easy to voice out their opinions without worrying about being judged.
I find myself more suitable for attitude and knowledge sessions which need initiative, light and comfortable ways of delivering
to avoid getting bored. In contrast, for capacity-building, I find myself not strong, powerful enough to emphasize the value of
that required kinds of skill, technique.

3. What is your
facilitating style?
Facilitating a session is not just about the moments of
delivering a presentation or on-site management. It’s more
about how facilitator prepare to have the most ready and

 5. the 3 biggest
challenges you are
going to face &
The first one may be the weak trait of my voice. It’s not too strong, loud and dynamic so sometimes might create

the uncertainty and unrealiability. My solution is focusing on some session with slow stream require a light and
gentle voice.

The second is that this is the really big scale of facilitation that I have never experienced before. I may get shocked
with the very new faces of audience and new working team as all the session I have deliverd are in the LC level with
smaller scale and familiar faces. My way forward is to spend more time to get close with the team first as the
supporting system when I’m on stage. Morover, be open right at the beginning with all the newbies coming from
every LC to get some personal connections to be aware that they have no bad intention towards me whatever
action they take during the sessions.

The last one is my uneffective time management. I usually run out of time before the session coming to the end and
mostly about time tracking that I don’t follow strictly to the determined agenda. I will join 100% rehearsal days and
get constructive feedbacks from teammate to improve I little by little.
