Tomorrow there is elections in my country. In the last two weeks are being revolutionary for European Countries, it was a change of democratic leaders in Greec and Italy for technocratic administrator of the state. In Spain it goin to be a change of president, probably of party in power too, but Spaniards know that the true leadership for us is in Europe. In my opinion, Europe needs leaders ready to advance, for me it is great news Angela Merkel has started to talk about the need of Policy Union, but I am not sure if the current leaders will do this or not, or maybe the followers will do, but I am sure, as in past big crisis, -when that was hapened there was a development of the city's caused of the industralisation, this time something similar will happen in a global way, if we want; we can analyse in a local level, the most minimum it will be Europe!
We need leaders, therefore start to develop this proyject. "Real Prospects Directory" for 2011/12 defined leadership in this terms: "Leadership is about being able to motivate and direct yourself and your team by taking the initiative on projects persevering when things go wrong and taking a positive attitude to mistakes".
At this level, individually we should make an analysis about the situation, about our goals and act consequently. In our analysis we should realise this globalized world is more competitive, for this we need preparing more (now it is not the same to be graduate than in the past, now it is necessary to speak languages, to have a masters...) that means we need more effort but at the same time more opportunities are offering for us. For this now more than ever we need to have leadership.
About my international experience I can tell you it is not easy, but recompense. It is not easy becuse it is exhausting to be day by day (three weeks yet) dealing with a language that is not yours and you don't speak fluently, but it is worth it to go to Caerphilly with my colleague Salli (to do one to one careers interviews) and see the castle, worth it to find part-time jobs for the students of the University who you are trying to help, spend a day with Lawrence Wilson of Student Sevice and to assist at very interesting meetings, worth it to assist with the drop in days (Wednesday!) or meet Tilly (an career advisor diploma student who spent this week with us)
As last week I would like to encourage you to live this kind of experience, that enrich yourself, but this week I would encourage you to lead yourself and drive your own life!
To finish I leave a inspiring speech:
