DESCRIPTION
Sarah's words (MCPe): I have been asked one day "How do you handle life?", the only answer I could give to this person was "Thanks to people like you!". As a leader, I am driven by my motivation, determination and most importantly by the people surrounding me. The experience of my team and members who will make history with me in Iceland is my number one priority. I am building a positive, proactive and complementary team which will impact above and beyond together as a family! More than competencies, I am looking for profiles of individuals who wish to actively develop and challenge themselves. My sense of purpose is to ensure that the foundations built so far becomes strong enough to remain a sustainable and meaningful entity in the long-term run. I envision AIESEC in Iceland to be a relevant entity providing and delivering the youth Icelandic generation with quality leadership opportunities.
