[AIESEC] Local Train the Trainers TU

Hey readers!

Hope you are having a great weekend. After a long week and having completed my final assignment of the semester, it's time for another post.

AIESEC Malaysia organised Local Train the Trainers (LTtT) from 12 - 14 October in Taylor's University. LTtT is a conference held for AIESECers in the Team Leader Program (TLP) to equipped them with the necessary skills to be facilitators. Throughout the 3 days, delegates learn the skills needed to be facilitators such as designing presentation slides, mood management and crowd management, delivery methods as well as applying what they have learn into simulation and mock sessions.

LTtT is also a prerequisite to qualify for National Train the Trainers, where facilitators specialised in one of the 'Success Essentials' under LEAD and learn how to chair a conference.

For this LTtT, it had a Michael Jackson theme to it as it is a theme that everyone can relate to. After all, Michael Jackson is a legend, he stands out from other entertainers and has signature moves. In the context of LTtT, a facilitator should be remember in a positive way: good presentation style, awesome slide designs and able to create an impact that the delegates would remember the facilitator for a long time.

Randy, the chair of LTtT TU, played a video at the end of LTtT titled 'What Matters To You/Me?'. So, what really matters to you? Think about it.

Last but not least, LTtT would not have been a success if it was not for the awesome facilitators that have equipped the delegates with the necessary skills.

Thank you facis! =D
