An Analysis Of Everyday Ambassador, By Kate Otto

I value doing things that help me live a healthier lifestyle. I understand that it is important to take care of myself by eating healthy, exercising, and doing my best to alleviate stress. If I don’t take care of myself I will not be in any shape to help anyone else. When I was younger my values were materialistic. I was more concerned about what I

ASSIGNMENT: Achieving competence as an interpersonal communicator in a diverse society is necessary to your personal and professional success. One way to enhance our understanding of interpersonal communication as a relationship-building activity is to engage in first hand dialogue with people from cultures other than your own. This assignment gives you the opportunity to engage in the dual perspective – honoring the perspective of the person with whom you are communicating as well as honoring your own perspective. You are also able to contrast your worldview with the perspective of someone with a different life experience than your

Last, but not least, education. This matters to everyone. With knowledge, you can approach people easier with your understanding. Your enlightenment can also create money, if you know how to

Growing up as the eldest child of an Asian family migrating to the U.S., I had early exposure with regards to resposibility, perseverance, trustworthiness, respecct, and leadership. I have learned to put my personal interests aside for the greater interest of others should I need to. I have

Many of these values (such as accountability, ambition, fairness, and integrity) came from my parents who worked hard to become very successful public servants by overcoming tremendous obstacles. Although no one taught me adaptability, by growing up in a foreign country and moving to the Unites States as an adult, I discovered the value of it fairly quickly. The value of continuous learning, ambition, and personal growth are self-taught, as I want to leave a good impression in my child’s mind that these values are good for a lifetime.

Empower and influence the people: To have the influence and to empower people is one of the important qualities in a leader. They are what the “followers” need to improve themselves, their skills and the leaders provide

John O'Leary stressed the importance of three questions: Why me? Who cares? What more can I do? From the introduction, these were posed through a negative mindset, but as he continued, he gave their meaning a new light. People face hardships each day, some more horrific than others. As for Mr. O'Leary, one childish mistake changed his life forever. Learning how he overcame the obstacle of healing from burns that covered one-hundred percent of his body exposed how hope, love, and faith can reignite the passion for life. We can easily choose to give up, but what a waste that is to allow yourself to fall away. Each individual has the opportunity to make an extraordinary impact on the world, so instead of bowing down to the troubles, one can fight and prove their worthiness. In order to blossom as a servant leader, it is important to realize you need to hold on to courage and passion, so that your efforts can have their full potential.

It is important that you develop an awareness of what you value, as these values will be important in informing your relationships with clients, co–workers and employers.

The most important characteristic for effective governmental leaders today is being genuine. The typical voter in America receives most of its political information from the media. Many times, the portrayal of politicians is distorted in a way that exclusively highlights characteristics that puts them in high pedestals. Our system is conditioned to see government officials as perfect, however, those who are honest and strive to have a natural connection with their constituents make the most relatable and effective governmental leaders in our democratic system today.

The majority of humanity proceeds through life at an unfluctuating or even mundane pace. It is not until we experience a noteworthy event in our personal or professional lives that, we pause and contemplate the impact. For some individuals, this crucible event provides clarity to the point that life becomes more meaningful. For others, the impact of the experience alters the course of their life forever. I experienced such an event in my professional life during a moment in which an elderly World War II Veteran quietly revealed to me that unassuming heroes inconspicuously walk among the rest of us every day. This realization forged within me a sense of duty, purpose, and values, which has strongly influenced my leadership style.

The Ambassadors depicts two young men on the left is Jean de Dinteville, French ambassador to England in 1533. To the right is Georges de Selve, bishop of Lavur who was an ambassador of the Venetian Republic. Jean de Dinteville is dressed in secular attire that shows his wealth and grandeur while Georges de Selve is wearing clerical clothing. Surrounding them are multiple items from a globe and other navigational, time and celestial tools and a skull in the foreground of the painting. Holbein’s use of color and choice of clothing used on the figures helps differentiate their positions in society. Jean de Dinteville a French ambassador is wearing a bright white fur and a vibrant red garment. Whilst Georges de Selve is wearing darker fur aw well but is darker and more modest. Wealth is also shown in the fabric of the curtain, the vibrant green fabric. Holbein gives The Ambassadors an asymmetrical balance to the painting by placing Jean closer to the foreground of the painting and by bisecting the work with a skull coming from the bottom left corner of the work. Holbein adds to this by contrasting the colors in the painting and making Jean larger that Georges Holbein guides the viewer’s eye toward Jean, giving him the appearance of being powerful.

Be Attentive: The values that resonate with me include being honest and forthright, saying what you mean but avoid insulting people. Get the job done you were expected to do, that is a value I hold very high. When we look at the political dynamics in Washington, D.C., we note that in the most recent polls the U.S. Congress has achieved an 82 percent negative rating from the American public. Americans value hard work and accomplishments, and in truth neither of those values are apparent in the Congress. That is, only 12 percent of those polled believe that Congress is doing what voters sent them there to do. My values were formed by my father and mother, my older siblings, and also from my closest friends. Finish your assignments with class and competence, treat others the way you wish to be treated, give others the benefit of the doubt before passing judgment these values are from my family and my closest most trusted friends.

On one's death bed a common thought is whether or not one lived a successful life. How does someone live a “successful” life? Everyone has their own definition of success. Personally, I believe that obtaining joy in life and having a lasting impact on the world would make one's life successful. Becoming an everyday ambassador is certainly a starting point for this dream. In Kate Otto’s work, Everyday Ambassador, she explores the key values one must display on the path to becoming an everyday ambassador. Through these traits of focus, empathy, humility, and patience, I can set myself up for success.

The main reason I'm so attached to the Ambassadors Program is because it's in relation to what I want to be doing when I'm older. I want to be a Customer Support Agent preferably at Xbox because I love helping people. I consider the Ambassador Program a great start in reference to getting a bit of experience in participating in live chats helping people. It always felt good being able to resolve someones problem as quickly and efficiently as possible. I even tried to learn from how the Official Microsoft Support agents would act during live chats by attempting to mimic their greetings, goodbyes and their understanding nature when people are angry. As sad as it is to say, I've visited the Ambassadors site many times since my removal in hopes that the removal message would magically disappear and I could begin doing what I love again (which obviously wouldn't

I can help drive that personal message. Help craft the value of Veronica Marshall as an independent consultant who’s mission critical to success. I can help craft and contextualize the cultural cues that translate to both credibility and currency with this market. But that’s not going to easy. And you don’t have much time or money.
