    Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public places that build communities. Imagine a plaza or town square bustling with people who are greeting each other, buying, selling, and exchanging ideas. For everyone striving to make public spaces better, PPS is that town square. Our vision is to act as the central hub of the global Placemaking movement, connecting people to ideas, expertise, and partners who share a passion for creating vital places. Since 1975, we have worked in more than 2,000 communities in 26 countries around the world, helping people turn their public spaces into vital community places, with programs, uses, and people-friendly settings that build local value and serve community needs. PPS's staff is trained in environmental design, architecture, urban planning, urban geography, urban design, environmental psychology, landscape architecture, arts administration and information management. The staff also collaborates on projects with architecture, landscape architecture and engineering firms, graphic design firms, transportation consultants, retail planners and community organizations. All of our staff is committed to the cause of communities throughout the United States and abroad.

  • Public Architecture and Planning
    @public_architecture_and_planning
    In striving to create an architecture of the senses, it becomes necessary to confront and engage multiple boundaries within the study and practice of architecture. Of critical importance is the process of 'making'. With our own hands, we put physical shape to our model and paper designs. Without the hand of the designer shaping the piece, the practice of architecture becomes mere direction, with the architect only suggesting a vague possibility, not 'making' a conceptual and physical connection.

  • Public speaking
    @publicspeaking
    You may be wondering what is the big deal about public speaking, anyway? Do I have to keep my hands clamped tight and my heart rate up like some terrified martial arts expert? Why are experts always telling me to "be careful" when I think I'm going to stumble or make some grave mistake? The answer is simple - preparation. When I go to speak in front of an audience, I do my best to think like them, and to use their body language as well as possible. That's right - I am particularly concerned about my audience's body language. I study it and analyze it to see if I can use my body language to get my point across. The good news, however, is that you can easily overcome your anxiety and perform remarkably well regardless of your audience's body language. One thing you'll need to keep in mind when studying how to be confident in public speaking is that even two people who are on opposite ends of the emotional spectrum will still have some degree of emotional response to your speaking. For instance, if your audience member has a strong negative opinion of a public figure, such as your boss, politician or an athlete, he or she will likely express it through body language. This can range from mildly uncomfortable to outright disgusted. You need to be aware of this and take care not to react too strongly to it unless your goal is to disgust your audience member. In addition, even if your audience member is a lifelong friend, even if he or she has given you some grief in the past, it's still important to keep the lines of communication open at all times. If you're stage-managing a presentation or speech, especially during critical moments, it's also important to be courteous and friendly. It's not enough to have good public speaking skills; you need to be a good listener, as well, and be prepared to give thoughtful answers to any questions that may be asked of you during a presentation. People love to talk about themselves and they love to hear about their own achievements and failures. Also, make sure to tell your audience what you plan to say - in advance. Don't anticipate the question; instead, indicate what you plan to say so that the audience can be more prepared to ask questions of you later on. You may also want to include an element of surprise. Sometimes, a question that is asked at the beginning of the presentation can lead to more questions in the end. By indicating that something will be discussed in your speech, you give your audience some time to get to know you and the information that you are about to share. Another important aspect of public speaking is your posture and the way you sit. Don't lean back in your chair or rock your hips. Your posture is often called your posture of authority, and this gives the appearance that you are trying to get everyone to follow you. In fact, many people fear public speaking because they feel like they don't know enough people in order to speak in front of a crowd. If you are uncomfortable standing in front of a group of people and don't feel comfortable, your performance is going to suffer. Speak up, even if it's embarrassing. You should also listen carefully to the questions your audience asks. Even if you are familiar with most of the information your audience is asking, sometimes you will still find something new. You can use this information to guide your own answer. You also need to make eye contact with each and every audience member that you meet. Public speaking is never easy, but it does not have to ruin your life. If you are prepared, you will be able to speak in front of an audience. Also, realize that there are plenty of resources out there to help you prepare for speaking in public. You should also take advantage of these resources. As long as you practice your speaking skills, speak up and speak out, you will be alright. Web: https://paramounttraining.com.au/training/public-speaking-presentations/

  • Public speaking skills
    @publicspeakingskills
    Public speaking can be described as the art of communicating with other people. Whether it's in front of a small group of individuals you already know personally or a crowd of total strangers, your skill to communicate to these individuals with confidence and clarity is called your public speaking skills. The art of public speaking applies not only to those who wish to become famous speakers and pop stars. It also applies to pretty much anybody who wants to be recognized and make a difference in the world. There's no doubt that if you had amazing public speaking skills you could change the course of your life. But it doesn't matter if you're already famous or not, having great skills in this area can definitely improve your life in a big way. Unfortunately, many people who are aspiring speakers don't pay enough attention to developing their public speaking skills seriously. They focus on mastering the skills needed to land that well-known job on the Oprah Winfrey show or becoming the next Tiger Woods. People who put such emphasis on that skill never take time to think about whether what they're saying is actually accurate or not. They just go on speaking until they're tired or the crowd is tired of listening. Having good public speaking skills requires a lot more than just knowing how to speak in front of people. You need to build up your confidence first. Confidence is one of the most important factors in being able to talk and speak confidently. If you lack confidence, even if you have great public speaking skills, you won't be able to make people listen to what you have to say. For example, if you're going to play in the high school football championship as a freshman, don't be cocky and expect to make it to the national championship game as a sophomore because you're a good public speaking player. You need to come out with confidence when you give your speeches, no matter what your age. You may be able to play well as a freshman but what will happen if you have an off year and your team doesn't perform as well? It's better to focus on your performance during the year rather than worrying about what you'll do come the next season. Focus on your performance instead of your public speaking skills: One of the biggest reasons people have a hard time focusing on their speeches is because they're afraid they might mess up. They don't want to screw it up somehow. It's OK if your speech isn't perfect but your performance will make or break you. Your audience will determine how much they care about you. Practice your public speaking skills: The best way to build your confidence is by regularly practicing. This means watching yourself in front of the mirror and repeating what you said to yourself a few times over. You want to build a relationship with your audience and have them respect you. If you can maintain eye contact with them and tell them how you feel without having to say anything, you have mastered that skill. Make regular presentations at a charity event: Do you like to give speeches and make regular presentations? This is a great skill to practice because it can really help you with your public speaking skills, particularly when you're giving a talk at a charity event. Charity events allow you to get your message out to as many people as possible and to be more visible in your community. If you have this skill, then you should use it! Practice makes perfect so don't hesitate to practice for giving a speech. Practice is the only way you can perfect your public speaking skills and you'll learn more about yourself as a speaker as you go. If you find that you are having trouble with a specific portion of your presentation, try to give the same speech to another person and see if you can improve. If not, then ask the person to do a follow up to see if there is still something you can change. Keep practicing and speaking to at least one other person until you are comfortable with your speech and with your public speaking skills as a whole.
