Public Relations Principles from Toy Story 3



            I was watching Toy Story 3 and I was thinking “I want to be like Woody”. I want to be the person who you know will come through, loyal to the end, compassionate, caring, persistent and calm. It is not to say that I am not those things currently but while watching the movie his character pulled at me. I connected with Woody; he was the person I wanted to be. Everything I think now has to relate to public relations – if write it here, I must find the PR angle. Here it is: Before one gets in the communication or business field, whether it is titled Public Relations specialist, Integrated Marketing Communications or whatever – decide who you are going to be.
            It gets hard representing an organization, are your principles going to be integrated into the organization or are you going to keep your principles separate from that of the business.
            Also, if the people who you surround yourself with are attracted to another business venture will you have the courage to defend your own principles and thoughts. I really enjoyed the movie, it was nostalgic, but at the same time it really ended the series on a wonderful note and made me think about who I am and who I want to be. Each day I work on the principles I want to have in my Ms. Ann-Makir Magloire person bag and I try to reinforce the ones I’ve added whenever I’m faced with a challenge. (There have been times where I’ve failed or miss an opportunity but I keep on being ambitious).
