According to Elaine Cogan, “If you decide to use one or more visual aids- and some speeches are fine without them- always remember their function is to assist you in presenting your message. They are not your message.”
I am an urban planner, economic development specialist and public participation facilitator. I specialize in economic development analysis and strategic planning for communities' long-term economic health. A lot of times, I refer to this as Sustainable Economic Development or a Wise Economy, because I am convinced that communities need to plan proactively for their long-term economic vitality, and I have spent most of my professional life trying to help communities make that happen.
I am available for speaking and consulting anywhere in the country. If you'd like to discuss opportunities, please call me at 513-288-6613 or email della.rucker@wiseeconomy.com
Gratzie!

Too many speakers tend to put lots of words on slides and overload the audience with information. There is always a fine line between overloading and not giving the audience enough, and in Chapter 5 of Elaine Cogan’s book, How to Talk to (Almost) Anyone About (Almost) Anything: Public Speaking for the Non-Public Speaker, Elaine offers great advice for walking that tightrope.
