2. What have been your main achievements and non achievements in AIESEC in the past? (Mention a max of three each)

Achievements :

-oGCDP 2014:

As the year started we did change a lot of things of how the things used to run which

did result in a good momentum in the portfolio. There were a lot of innovations

implemented which were key learning factors for the team. A very special part of this year

was also The TopGun, my member became the TopGun 2014 she was driven by the

passion & the will to do something significant for the department , the utmost satisfaction

and happiness from sending people for an Internship made her to go for one too.

Each passing quarter there was evolution of thought leadership which ultimately helped

run teams in the most efficient & effective manner in Q4.

-Refined individual:

The AIESEC journey itself has been the key defining factor of my personality, the

thoughts,the commitment & everything that i possess as an individual. The way failure &

feedback is embraced & seen as an opportunity to learn from mistakes is something which

no other thing could have taught a 20 year old.

The beauty of the leadership development model reflects in my core value system &

actions. As a result of this journey i have a purpose in life , more committed & passionate

towards it.

Non Achievements:

- Funds for Balakalakaar:

In the organizing committee everyone worked very hard for the children to happy &

satisfied at the day of the event, however we could not raise any money from companies

as the timeline was not matching the corporate timeline. However, the team found a

solution in time to not let the event go in loss & did micro funding and delivered the event.

-Could not go for exchange myself:

Coming from oGC , which sends people abroad for a Global Citizen & knowing the impact &

the value the program carries i could not myself experience my product which is one of my

non achievements till now,but i will definitely take this up before my AIESEC journey ends.

of challenges and failures.The team always believed in conquering fears and surging for a

The Journey has been the best team experience , where everyone challenged each other

Section D | Motivation

1. Why did you decide to run for LCP of AIESEC Chandigarh? What are the qualities required for this role & what makes you best suited for this role?

I call this LC my home. the amount of learning and wisdom this place has given me is something which built my character & my purpose of life. I applied because i want to serve this LC & give back more and more because this place deserves nothing but our greatest form.

Over time i realized why leadership is the fundamental solution to every problem in this world & i want to activate leadership in each and everyone because that is what the organization exists for. AIESEC in Chandigarh stands tall and deep rooted of the leaders that it has created in the past. The Local Chapter’s identity has one of creating humble,bold and Value driven leaders who aspired to achieve with undiluted passion to elevate to greatness to dream more and more for the LC with purpose, passion ,performance delivered promises , became an invincible local chapter leading the insurgence and ready to Never Settle,Go Beyond.

I applied because i simply love this place, called home. I want to serve the home with the best that can be done and nothing short. I have applied because this place redefined the meaning passion & commitment. I applied because i want to take an opportunity to deliver opportunities and pioneer AIESEC Chandigarh towards 2020.

2. Describe your future short-term and long-term career and personal goals. How do you expect an LCP term to help you achieve these goals and why now?

Never Settle,Go Beyond! Humility.Innovation.Achievement

Career Goals Personal Goals

Short term: -Graduate in May 2016. -Learn a new language.

Short term: -Becoming the LCP of AIESEC in Chandigarh. -Learn a new cuisine. -Start working on Health.

Long Term: -Complete masters degree. -Do culinary course from Cornell University. -Open my Restro-Bar.

Long Term: -Travel & explore authentic food around the world. - Adventure Sports to conquer fear of heights: Sky Diving.

Page 10: Manifesto - Natasha Dewan

Natasha Dewan|Applicant|Local Committee President |AIESEC in Chandigarh 2016

An LCP term is a role which is above oneself because of the responsibility it holds.

The learning & experience this role has to offer is something which transforms an individual.

The role has to offer different challenges every day,which excites me. Because i believe that

challenges are what makes you a better person for the team.

3. Highlight your time commitment throughout the whole of next year (till Dec 2016; Academic or otherwise). Ideally, how much time should an LCP give to his role?

Since i would be graduating in May 2016, i will be in my last semester where i need to

manage basic attendance till April,which is manageable.

An LCP is supposed to be available at all times for his/her team & the LC.

4. What are your three most substantial personal accomplishments (non- AIESEC), and why do you view them as such? Provide a candid assessment of your strengths and weaknesses.

-Cooking:

When my mom started working & we had no servant to cook, there is where my love for

cooking food began. Everytime, i used to be upset i would start cooking something, which

we later realize that this is something i truly love. Another reason why i cherish this talent is

the way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach, which is really true. ;) I found my

passion in cooking and took it up as a career. Always believed in following your passion

because only then would you give your 100% to the job.

-Managing academics with co-curricular :

Until school i was an average student with academics which worked in my favor always

because there were not any high expectations from me. It feels good when you surprise your

parents with a score they haven’t ever seen in your academic journey, to me it happened

with Class 12 results. My parents were baffled as they never saw me above 75% mark ever. I

score 87%. Which was a boost for me and entered college,joined AIESEC but always

managed my scores which is the peace element for my parents.

Never Settle,Go Beyond! Humility.Innovation.Achievement

Page 11: Manifesto - Natasha Dewan

Natasha Dewan|Applicant|Local Committee President |AIESEC in Chandigarh 2016

-Embracing Challenges & Failures:

Since i was a teenager there are things that go wrong in this phase which are irreparable

and leave a deep impact on the individual. I saw that happening to everyone around me.

When similar failures & challenges came my way i was wise enough to not let the ill take a

toll on me rather took that as an opportunity to learn & be wiser for times ahead & never

repeat again.

5. Define AIESEC in Chandigarh’s direction in 2016 in a single phrase or a statement. (Can be a stand or a vision or a mission statement)

Never Settle,Go Beyond.

6. Describe your leadership style? Explain how your style will be suitable for AIESEC Chandigarh in it’s current state.

‘’If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ‘’

--John Quincy Adams

Overtime and experience in AIESEC, i realised what leadership actually means to me. This happened because of the diverse roles taken here but there was one thing common every step that i have been here, A Leader is a one who nurtures,understands & accepts the way the members are and makes sure he develops them to outperform themselves each day. Leadership means parenting to me, because as parents they show the child the right path with a space for the child to fall down,make mistakes, learn and grow themselves. My priority is to encourage,support and enable members to discover their own potential and strive to go beyond it each day with a space to innovate,fail & rise.

Never Settle,Go Beyond! Humility.Innovation.Achievement

7. What power does the role of an LCP carry and how do you intend to wield this after becoming (the LCP)?

The role of an LCP holds immense power as he/she is the decision making along with the

executive board for the local chapter. Over and above that the power to lead a local chapter ,

create transformational stories for every experience delivered and creating the change agents

for the city & the world & together moving towards making an AIESEC for Chandigarh.

Section E | LC Administration

1. List down the different aspects of the job role of an LCP.

The Local Committee President, is the administrative head of the LC. He/she is the ultimate decision-making entity of the local committee, driving down plans, strategy and culture along with being accountable and answerable to the General Body of the local committee at the same time.

▪ Marketing

1. What emphasis does Marketing as a function hold currently for AIESEC in Chandigarh? Critically analyse the same. Also evaluate its contribution to growth in all ELD programs, including Global Leaders Program.

Marketing plays a very vital role as a function currently in the Local Chapter, as each

member is a brand ambassador in the LC. Marketing in 2015 has played an important role for the

local chapter:

-Balakalakaar had it’s coverage on a leading radio channel of tri-city besides featuring on different

online collaborations.

through both online & onground channels which was done as no random campaigns orrandom

selling was allowed.

-Workplace branding was initiated.

-Good PR coverage for Youth Speak Forum.

-Consistent Outreach on digital channels.

-Email Marketing for oGC was initiated.

-Different EwA activités were also done, but results were not as expected.

-Little consistency for supporting oGC specifically.

-ELD contribution to oGT has been significant

However we could not have a proper track to evaluate ELD contribution.

-Using iGC Impact to get PR sorted for the year.

-Devising a mechanism to collect the right content from operations.

-Adequate competent membership to be given for it to run like any other department.
