Notes on using the presentation.

Our website is a great way to get the history, vision and facts on Findhorn that may be useful in supporting your presentation. Click here for more information.

Included below are technical instructions to get the presentation up and running on your computer.

• The presentation includes pictures and bullet points to help you talk through the presentation.
• Slides that operate automatically as a slideshow, moving from slide to slide, and are accompanied by music. These are at the beginning and end of the show.
• Slides of a ‘stop and tell’ nature, allowing you to share in your own way using the bullet points as prompts on what to cover in your talk. Play it through a few times so as to familiarise yourself with these elements.

Presenter tips:

• Test the presentation on your computer before you leave the Foundation to ensure it runs fault-free.
• Take business cards to hand out so that people have an easy way to contact you. Always remember that our website is a great way for people to find out more info.
• During your talk, point to the relevant area on the screen, it really helps focus the audience and keep their attention on you.
• Use slides as a framework on which you hang your message, and not as a message itself. When you present, follow the golden rule of ‘fewer words = more message’, i.e. be succinct.
• Bring your own personality and story to the facts. Enjoy yourself and speak from the heart.
