 Suley Usman
Hi! Some of you may be aware of an age-old parable that goes something like this: 
My name is Suley (soo-lay) and I coach B2B tech-focused teams in administration, sales, and operations, to embrace and apply to help drive productivity and financial gain across the entire organization.
Early in my communications career as a regional vice president for AV technology sales and operations I was responsible for a region spanning several states across the southeastern U.S. that housed multiple hospitality client-accounts serviced by onsite techs. And as vice president for product development at a growing half billion-dollar company, I was able to help customers, teams, and individuals, improve their transfer of knowledge to the workplace by creating affordable collaborative solutions using presentation touchscreens enhanced with interactive apps that encouraged presenter-attendee engagement. Three decades later I'm able to use my forward-thinking expertise and innovative approach to help accelerate your forward progress and help you provide solutions that benefit your organization and your customers. Professional Representation is the superpower of all soft skills, and you don't have to look far to understand why. Regardless of how impressive your individual or organizational "skill stack", all progress and advancement will be undermined with poor representation skills. The Art of Professional Representation empowers individuals, teams, and organizations, to understand and apply professional level interpersonal and interactive communication skills among employees, teams, partners, and with customers, to advance goals, productivity, and profits. Behind the concept of teaching someone to fish (so they can be self-sustaining) are the interactive elements of communication, collaboration, engagement, and assimilation.
When properly introduced and managed at an event, these interactive elements improve the outcome between the teacher and the learner. In your case it might be the presenter and the attendee. These interactive elements form the basis for my approach in designing practical and inspiring interactive engagement experiences to help you enhance your attendee's ability to transfer their knowledge to their work environment. With the sharing of knowledge being the goal of practically every meeting, conference, seminar, and webcast it stands to reason that your approach to interactive engagement is carefully thought out so you can get the most out of it.
In your drive to roll out the best interactivity, possible, you may find yourself seeking solutions to questions such as, "How will I know what and when to create and roll out?" and "When I do─ how will I know it's not too little or too much"?
Perhaps you're wondering what software or app would be best for you to use, for the type and level of interactive engagement you're looking to achieve. Or if there is a physical tool or device that you'll need to boost the interactive experience beyond the basics. Having solutions to questions and concerns such as these, is what I do. To help me assess your situation and strategize a solution to get you to the elevated event ROI goals you're looking for, I employ a process I call SALTE. S.A.L.T.E. is an acronym for Spatial, Aesthetical, Logistical, Technological, and Experiential. These five criteria contain detailed prompts to help me arrive at the appropriate set of results to neutralize interactivity challenges and take you to the next level of engagement.
