Nata PR School (FR)209- Relations publiques : outil pour les dirigeants (CEOs)Bonjour ami RP !
Avez-vous déjà remarqué que lorsque les dirigeants se prêtent à l’exercice des relations publiques, leur popularité augmente ?
Vous m’avez souvent entendu parler d’Elon Musk qui grâce aux médias est devenu connu tout autant que l’entreprise Tesla qu’il a créée.
Pensez à cet ancien président des États-Unis, déjà très connu avant même d’animer cette célèbre émission « The Apprendice » et cette phrase inoubliable « You are fired ! ».

Nata PR School (EN)209- Public Relations: A Tool for Leaders (CEOs)Hello, PR friend!
Have you ever noticed that their popularity increases when leaders engage in public relations?
You've often heard me talk about Elon Musk, who became just as famous as the company Tesla that he created, thanks to the media.
Think of that former U.S. president, who was already very well-known before even hosting the famous show "The Apprentice" and the unforgettable phrase, "You are fired!"
It's clear to me that he rose to the presidency in part because of the media's visibility.

Berkeley Voices59: Teeter totters as activism: How the border wall became a playgroundWhen UC Berkeley architect Ronald Rael took his bright pink teeter totters to the U.S.-Mexico border wall, he didn't know that what he and his team did next would go viral. He just wanted to create a moment where people on both sides of the wall felt connected to each other. “Women and children completely disempowered this wall for a moment, for 40 minutes," says Rael.

TED Talks News and PoliticsAn architect's subversive reimagining of the US-Mexico border wall | Ronald RaelWhat is a border? It's a line on a map, a place where cultures mix and merge in beautiful, sometimes violent and occasionally ridiculous ways. And a border wall? An overly simplistic response to that complexity, says architect Ronald Rael. In a moving, visual talk, Rael reimagines the physical barrier that divides the United States and Mexico -- sharing satirical, serious works of art inspired by the borderlands and showing us the border we don't see in the news. "There are not two sides defined by a wall.
