First chairing experience, I’ve got chairing LCC in Kiev… The conference it self was quite different I’m used to have. Firstly I have never been to LCCs of some other LCs, secondly, I had lots of random conversations with interns (they came just the same day LCC happened), alumni, my teammates.

Being in MC you start to realize the difference between LCs, the uniqueness of each entity, of each city. The things which so easily working in your LC may be completely different in other city. I was leading legislation meeting, a bit different, but nice to know how it can be. It makes you more flexible, more experienced. I’ve met one girl that was applying for alumni status, Yulia Shylo, - at Adaptation Camp 2006, - I was her first faci,… now, 2 years letter, at her last conference being active member, - I was a chair, - strange how things, actions, people can be connected.

I don’t remember last time, - I had so many conversations at one day, - I was catching up people asking, listening, again asking, and it made me happy and connected. Trough those hours I understood how much afford I need to pay at my networking abilities, as well as general erudition at what is happening in the world, - remember, one day Legka told me how she is preparing to each meeting with friends in Canada, -watching TV, reading news etc. I was surprised by that, now I realize how much it needed to start up conversations that matter.

Speaking about my MC work, I still don’t have lap top, that makes me a bit sad, - that I cannot normally work and will need to ketch up my tasks quickly, from other hand It makes me more affective, - having those couple hours of being at the computer, I manage to finish everything before deadlines and go to bed normally at 11 p.m or at lest not working at night.

Keep on discovering my Self
