PR

Public Relations (PR) is the actions of a corporation, store, government, individual, etc., in promoting goodwill between itself and the public, the community, employees, customers, etc.

An earlier definition of public relations, by The first World Assembly of Public Relations Associations, held in Mexico City, in August 1978, was "the art and social science of analyzing trends, predicting their consequences, counseling organizational leaders, and implementing planned programs of action, which will serve both the organization and the public interest."^[1]

Others define it as the practice of managing communication between an organization and its publics.^[2] Public relations provides an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that provide a third-party endorsement^[3]and do not direct payment.^[4] Common activities include speaking at conferences, working with the media, crisis communications, social media engagement,^[5] and employee communication.

The European view of public relations notes that besides a relational form of interactivity there is also a reflective paradigm that is concerned with publics and the public sphere; not only with relational, which can in principle be private, but also with public consequences of organizational behaviour ^[6][7] A much broader view of interactive communication using the Internet, as outlined by Phillips and Young in Online Public Relations Second Edition (2009), describes the form and nature of Internet-mediated public relations. It encompasses social media and other channels for communication and many platforms for communication such as personal computers (PCs), mobile phones andvideo game consoles with Internet access. The increasing use of the mentioned technologies give the media a democratisation power and thus, aid to the demystification of subjects.

Public relations is used to build rapport with employees, customers, investors, voters, or the general public.^[4] Almost any organization that has a stake in how it is portrayed in the public arena employs some level of public relations. There are a number of public relations disciplines falling under the banner of corporate communications, such as analyst relations, media relations, investor relations, internal communications and labor relations. Most of them include the aspect of peer review to get liability.

Other public relations disciplines include:

• Financial public relations – providing information mainly to business reporters
• Consumer/lifestyle public relations – gaining publicity for a particular product or service, rather than using advertising
• Crisis public relations – responding to negative accusations or information
• Industry relations – providing information to trade bodies
• Government relations – engaging government departments to influence policymaking

The three golden rules for presenting

Practise, practise, practise…….

My dictionary’s definition of the word practise is “to do repeatedly as an exercise to improve a skill”.To me, this proves two things: first, the more you practise something, you better you get at it. And second, the people who compile dictionaries aren’t necessarily the best writers in the world.

It’s a funny thing, though: no one doubts that you have to practise to get better at most things – playing a musical instrument, playing a sport, driving, cooking, you name it – but for some reason, lots of people don’t think this applies to presentations.

Maybe the thinking is that, hey, I work with this stuff every day, so I don’t need to practise it.

Well yes, you might work with it every day, but you don’t present it every day. You may never have presented it before. So practising it would be a smart idea.

Making a presentation involves public speaking, which can be seriously scary. Famously, speaking in public has been voted scarier than dying (which says something about its lack of popularity).

One reason for this is that everyone will be staring at you. If you make a mistake, fluff your lines or go blank, there’s no escape and nowhere to hide.

Practising beforehand will reduce the chances of those things happening. It will also give you more confidence: something which makes you better at almost anything you do.

A couple of tips: practise out loud. Even better, record your presentation on tape and play it back. You’ll hear how you sound to others. You’ll probably be speaking too fast, and listening to yourself like this will help you slow it down.

Also, listen to your tone of voice and your volume. Try and keep your presentation easy on the ear and on the eye: add pauses, gestures, intonations and so on. You may well find that some sections work well presented a certain way, while others work better another way. Practising beforehand will help you get a natural flow to your presentation.

So there it is. Practising may not make your presentation perfect; but it will improve it, probably by a big margin. After all, would you rather make your mistakes on your own and fix them – or make them in front of your important and critical audience?
