Narges has spoken in a wide variety of settings from boardrooms to ballrooms and is always flexible. The following ideas are offered as suggestions for
making an event as successful as possible.
Please email her or use the contact or book Narges form if you have any questions.
Microphone: A cordless lapel mic is Narges' first choice, so she can move around and better interact with the
audience. A hand-held cordless microphone with mic stand is the second
choice. The last is a corded hand held microphone. If you choose the
third option please make sure it has a long cord so she can move
around, and of course always ensure there is a mic stand.
Staging: Narges does not usually speak behind a lectern. A podium or riser in a large
room will help your audiences line of sight, especially with groups over 50 people. Please make sure the
audience is at a close distance to the speaker and that people sit
close together (not scattered around the room), as this will create
more intimacy, fun and better learning.
Presentation:
An LCD/DLP projector and a large screen may be used in some presentations.
Please let Narges know ahead of time whether or not there will be a
laptop computer and remote to use, or if she should bring her own.
Please extend the screen as high as possible, and try to be sure there are no
lights directly above the screen. The rest of the room should be well
lit. One 6-8 foot table is needed for the LCD projector to be set
vertically (T) and for Narges' props.
Arrangement of the room:
Please let Narges know ahead of time what kind of seating arrangement
you prefer. It is
appreciated if the host would announce that learning resources are
available immediately following the presentation.
Introduction:
You will receive a copy of Narges' introduction prior to the event.
Narges will also bring an extra copy with her. Please assign someone who is
comfortable in front of an audience to give the introduction. It is
helpful if Narges can have a moment or two with that person prior to the
presentation.
Resource handouts: Narges will send you masters of the resource handout 10-20 days prior to the event if time permits.
A/V or Event person:
Please arrange with the A/V or event organizer for the meeting to
deal directly with Narges so that she may ensure the room is set up in a
way that will make her presentation go as successfully as possible.
