But how do we get there?

Inner & Outer Journey... Through sending people abroad and living an inner and outer journey.

Outer journey: The outer journey describes the crucial experiences in which leadership is forged and includes challenge, risk and working at the edge of the system.Inner journey: The inner journey describes how the leader learns through reflection, mentoring and practice.

For any experience in AIESEC there should be individual responsibilities and goals. Being in a challenging role & environment there is interaction with multiple stakeholders. Throughout the experience there is a support system.

… experience that you are going through

It´s about setting personal goals, reflecting on your experience, understand your personal goals and reinventing yourself based on the goal-setting, the reflection and the understanding of yourself.
