A DIPLOMATIC CHANGE AMBASSADOR WITH YELI INTERNATIONAL

 A DIPLOMATIC CHANGE AMBASSADOR WITH YELI INTERNATIONAL?

Who is a Change Ambassador and what are their Roles and Responsibilities (RR) to an organisation and the community?

A person who implements organisational/community change must wear many different hats. The more reason YELI International's Change Ambassadors are demonstrators of extraordinary versatility within a broad skill set.

The following are some of the roles you may play as you influence real

changes in your organisation and the community at large.

- Investigate:

Implementing real change is rarely as straightforward as executing obvious activities. Dealing with people’s behaviors and attitudes

usually requires digging below the surface to understand the dynamics

of the organisation and community within which they live. Change

ambassadors look for clues that give away what is really preventing

change from happening, so they can determine the steps most likely to

remove obstacles and bring about success. Changeambassadors are

observant and analytical.

- Advocate:

Every organisational and community change needs someone who speaks up in favor of it and keeps attention on it. Changeambassadors gain support for the initiative and engage people to participate even where it involves giving financially to keep noble causes going. They also keep beating the drum of change when everyone else is busy with other activities. Change ambassadors are vocal and persistent.

- Encourage:

Change happens when individuals alter their own activities, behaviors

and attitudes. People experience varied emotions as their sense of stability is removed. In most cases, they are required to take risks

and step outside their comfort zones. As a changeambassador,

understand the personal implications of people involved, so you can

help people feel better about making the intended real changes. Change ambassadors listen and encourage.

- Facilitate:

One of the key activities of a change ambassador is finding ways to

facilitate the process of helping people change attitudinally and

making the community a better place. Changeambassadors clarify the change and make it easier to perform. As an ambassador, you design

systems, tools, forms, and processes to enable people to succeed as

they go through faces of the ensuing changes. Change ambassadors are helpful and creative.

As a change ambassador, are you on track for success in the area of promoting global peace and building better communities for all

humanity? You must access yourself on this bearing daily.

- Mediate:

Different groups and individuals undergoing changein an organisation/

communities frequently have opposing priorities. Therefore, Change

ambassadors manage conflict by helping different parties in

organisations and the community see the situation from the other’s

point of view, and by finding common goals. They work to improve

understanding and reduce friction between multiple parties so they can collaborate to implement real and positive changes. Change ambassadors are peacemakers as well as empowerers of humanity.

- Advise:

Change ambassadors rely on their expertise to build their authority

within the organisation and at the societal level. By sharing knowledge, they demonstrate that they can be relied upon to point people in the right direction. Sometimes knowledge transfer occurs directly through training, but it also happens every day in meetings and conversations. Change ambassadors are confident and knowledgeable

to help their people grow and make their communities become a better place.

- Manage:

A change ambassador ensures that there are goals, targets, and due

dates for the project. Then they keep people on track to achieve them.

Change ambassadors find ways to hold people accountable, and make sure that appropriate rewards – or punishments – are handed out as

necessary. Change ambassadors are determined and conscientious.

As you implement change in your organization and the community at large, pay attention to the roles you play most often, and which you feel most comfortable filling. Select which hat will make you most

effective in different situations. As you increase your versatility,

you will improve your effectiveness as a changeambassador for peace and humanity - CAPH.
