PERSONAL PUBLIC RELATIONS:
INDULGENCE OR NECESSITY? Present yourself well. Make the right impression. We hear these reminders as often as we hear words of encouragement when others wish us good luck before any big day. As children, we learn about good manners, proper behaviour, and pleasant appearance as soon as we start walking and speaking. We receive praise and rewards when we say “Please” and “Thank you” and behave well at the table, or when we manage to keep our clothes relatively clean after messy sandbox play or monkey bar hoops with our playground friends. Systematically, when growing up and acquiring more skills and greater social understanding, we kept developing the best version of ourselves to create our public persona.
