Communicating Across the Divide | Ann-Marie Adams | TEDxIthacaCollege

New media and the multi-mobile nature of human interaction impacts they way we communicate with each other in our daily lives as well as across the business landscape in the global marketplace. This ripple effect has had a tremendous impact on the aging population, leaving a vulnerable demographic forgotten. This talk explores the reality of this predicament.

Ann-Marie Adams loves words, written and spoken. She is a natural storyteller with nearly two decades of experience in public engagement. Her academic pursuits in strategic communication are focused on the evolution of discourse. Her creative collections include Word Strings, an inspiring collection of short, candid insights that delve into life’s emotional complexity. A potpourri of every-day wisdom, bite-size quotations and simple social shares, “Word Strings” frames relatable life concepts, such as aging and leadership, with comforting narrative that reflects upon both modern society and the struggles and joys of living. Currently
Ann Marie splits her time between the Lowcountry region of South Carolina, the Finger Lakes region of New York, and East Tennessee to teach, write, and porch sit.
