PUBLIC IMAGE
• Each one of us has a Public Image
• Companies, Brands and Organizations have a Public Image
• Cities, States and even Countries have a Public Image
Look at the Images of these People... What feelings do you get ?
Look at these Images … What comes to your mind ?
Public Relations and Public Image
Public RelationsWhat we tell people about ourselves, our club activities, events
and services …
It is the crafted message that we give to the community
It is an effort to create awareness about us and to establish our credibility
Public ImageHow we are perceived… How is our club seen by the communityIt is the Public opinion about us
PUBLIC
ROTARY
We can only try and control our MESSAGES.1
We cannot control our Public Image…
HOW DO PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OPINION?
WHAT WE SAYThe written or crafted messages contribute only 20% to the
Public OpinionWHAT WE DO:80% share to our Public Opinion comes from
How do we Behave, How do we Conduct ourselves, and
How do we Act ? Therefore,
80 % of message is non-verbal & Involuntary20% of message is written/verbal & Voluntary
This 80% is known as ROTARY’s BODY LANGUAGE
Rotary’s Body Language plays a
Crucial Role
If our 80%is not able to leave a
Good & Positive Impression…
It doesn’t matter how attractive we
Make our 20% by way of Crafted Messages...
We are under constant Watch.....Our Actions, Our Behaviour, Our Conduct
are under constant vigil of the people and the communities
Rotary Actions in here
General public out there
What Creates Rotary’s Public Image
Behavioral Image of
Rotarians
Rotary’sCore values
Visual Image of both
Public Image is a result of…
That’s why we need to put emphasis on Public Image
‘Doing good’&
‘Letting people know about it’
We excel in the former,But often struggle with the latter
So let’s talk about the Messages that we send,
and How do we send them ?
Rotary has its own unique language, that even some Rotarians
don’t understand.
How will general public understand it ?
Communicating with non-RotariansDon’t understand our jargon or acronyms
They don’t care about our Classification system
They have no concept of so many names attached to one organization
Write like a non-Rotarian, because people:
They don’t care about Our International President Our Annual Theme And why we keep changing them every year
They are not interested in the year Rotary started
How are we known by our Global Public ?
Never Heard of Rotary
Know Name Only
