The four Ps of public relations leadership.

Hey there!

Just finished reading this article which I find it interesting to the PR fraternity. This article was posted to my Facebook University PR Group by our lecturer. The article was written by Anne Gregory on her experience in the communication discipline through the 4Ps.

The 4Ps are Purpose, Principles, People and Process. I couldn’t agree more to it and personally thinks it is a very educating article for a PR student like me.

Besides promoting this article, I’m glad I have personally thought about all these and in fact my friends and I discussed about all these elements that is needed in one of our PR case study during PR Principles.This article just summarised what we discussed and put them in place for what I’ve discussed with my group mates back at Taylor’s University.

Although we did not managed to exactly pinpoint the exact 4Ps but the discussion was of the content written in this article especially the contents of Purpose, Principles and People. The group did fabulously well and we got almost perfect score for that case study to which I believe is largely due to these 4Ps.

Hi!
It’s my first time doing a community service collecting litter on the streets of Lincoln as a volunteer for the Student’s Union.
Together with 7 other volunteers, we headed to Monks Road, the proposed road for the day but as we going to our destination,the amount of rubbish we have already cleared especially cigarette butts was apparent.

Two designated volunteers were tasked to pick the cigarette butts for an NGO organization that lobbies for a smoke free Lincoln City.
The great feeling about doing this is appreciation that I received from the public that thanked us for our work.

Going to Monks Road for the first time, it came as a suprise to me that there is such a beautiful park over there and definitely a great place to go for a run!

The litter pick day ended at 1pm with a little group photo and the pictures of the rubbish, cigarette butts and cigarette boxes that were collected. Overall it’s a great experience for me,having not done any litter pick session since primary school!
Crazy week ahead! See ya!

Hey ya!

Happy Deepavali guys! (It’s a Hindu festival of lights) What a great way to celebrate them with my new found friend, Lakshimi, a Hindu herself sitting beside me on the bus!

The retail fair at Leeds Beckett University was a great way for me to seek experience on everything I should know about getting a possible internship here and at the same time a fabulous way to work on my assignment.

The best perk of this short trip was the opportunity to see Leeds and it is completely free. It was indeed an eye opener to me! I thought it is a small township and I was so wrong!

The retail fair was a great chance for me to approach big retailers like Tesco, M&S, Morrisons, Next and Acadia just to name a few. I got great insights to what these potential employers are looking for in a CV (Crucial for my assignment), the sort of process they go through and finally the interview part. I managed to ask the sort of interview questions they would love to ask on applicants.

Now the sightseeing part! I caught up with my former course mate at Taylor’s University where we had lunch in a mall. (We went on the same flight together!) Michelle took me on a walk along the main streets of Leeds before heading back to the university for her class. While I had about an hour more before the bus leaves Leeds Beckett University, I took up my urban explorer role and went strolling around the universities side of Leeds.

The bus headed back to Lincoln at 3 and I was the last one on bus! Got a bit too carried away with my camera but hey! I was still early actually!
