If you look close enough you just might find me ?? This could be said to be inarguably my greatest achievement, YET. In all my years of attending AIESEC conferences, I have never seen anyone without sponsorship or partnership, but we did that in the recently concluded NEXLDS conference held at Calabar in April. The conference aimed to foster exchanges; being the core of the organization, to remind the members of the part they play and strategic directions to achieve the organization's goals. Now, my team did not have an ideal situation, seeing that the team was put together barely one month before the conference date, no partnership deal was closed, but with the help of the local chapter’s president and the unwavering support from the alumni network, and my team’s magnificent efforts, we were able to run a debt free conference, hosting a total of 160 people from all over the country. A major takeaway from this role as the project manager was my ability to manage both situations and people, in past times I only saw crisis management in sessions I delivered but I actively did that for the duration of the conference, I successfully oversaw the execution of the project on time, within scope, within budget and contributing to the overall success of the organization. I realized the strength of remaining calm amidst chaos; chaos because the problems we encountered were nothing short of that, but being solution-oriented and proactive saw to it that we didn't dwell on the problems but implemented contingency plans. I am glad that now we get to sit back and revel in the achievements and experiences, the connections and memories. #projectmanagement

I was on the United World College national selection committee this year. It was a pretty inspiring weekend! Meeting so many young, passionate, and smart applicants from all over Armenia was incredible. Many of them don't even realize how good they are! This took me back to my own days interviewing for Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program in 2005. An application process where I appeared quite randomly, just to prove that my English is good. And at some point, I found myself in the last interview stage playing games just like these kids we evaluated at UWC were, and couldn't figure out what exactly they could evaluate; we were just having fun and being ourselves. Now I know you can see a lot ~ Studying abroad is truly transformative. It's not just about academics, it's about experiencing new cultures and people, and realizing that so many things are just perceptions, not realities. This really makes you think about yourself, what you want, and why, who you want to be, what you really like and what is just a matter of choice and not must. In my case, it made me realize that the world is both big and small, and it is a big illusion that there is a major difference between developed and developing countries. It's just statistics. And I knew I wanted to travel and learn as much as I can, so I can bring back more of that knowledge and experience to do good in my homeland ?? UWC Dilijan is something special. The minute I walked in, I thought how amazing it would be to study there as a kid (you should see their art room!). Can't wait to see where the selected students' journeys take them! ??

In my CQ class at NTU, we explored three factors that contribute to building a culturally intelligent team. First, understanding individual uniqueness—recognizing each other’s strengths, preferences, and cultural backgrounds. Second, having a clear team purpose—knowing why we exist as a team and what we can achieve together that no one could achieve alone. Finally, we emphasized the importance of clear roles and responsibilities, where everyone knows how their work impacts others. This took me back to my time working with media outlets in Beijing, where we operated in a multi-cultural environment to produce shows for global audiences. Our international colleagues played a vital role in helping local producers shape scripts to make them more engaging for international viewers. However, cultural gaps sometimes surfaced. I remember moments when foreign colleagues struggled to grasp certain situations rooted in the Chinese context. As a local producer, I sometimes felt frustrated, thinking, "This is in China—it’s obviously different!" Looking back, I realize I missed the chance to bridge that cultural gap. I was focused on completing tasks and didn’t take the time to explain the Chinese context from their perspective, someone unfamiliar with the local culture. We knew each other's strengths, our team’s goals, and our roles, but we didn’t fully appreciate each other’s cultural backgrounds. Now, I understand the importance of patience and communication in these situations. From rushing to solve problems to appreciating the need for cross-cultural understanding, my approach has transformed. So, next time you find yourself in a multicultural team, remember that cultural intelligence isn’t just about getting the job done. It’s about understanding each person’s unique background and taking the time to bridge differences. A little patience and open communication can go a long way in fostering collaboration and making the team’s purpose clearer. Thank you very much for the amazing course!
