Marianne,
I also have been asked this a few times and no, I don't pass on my 
presentations. In my case I usually uses lots of photos of mothers and their 
children and I don't have permission to allow them to be used by anyone 
other than myself. The only exception I've made to this is the infant 
feeding in emergencies presentation I did for WBW- which I was more than 
happy to share.

Subject: Use by others of your powerpoint-presentations

> Hi all,

> Making a really good pp presentation is, as we all know, a hell of a job.
> It is not just a couple of slides put together; it is a condensation of 
> the knowledge and expertise you have gained after a lot of hard work 
> (studying as well as working with moms).
> Some people seem to think that it is quite alright to send you an e-mail 
> with questions like: "Could you please send me your powerpoint? I have to 
> give a presentation and would like to use your work."
> I really disapprove of this attitude. A ppp is *my* intellectual property. 
> I invested time, energy and money to be able to make it and it is only 
> complete when my story comes with it.
> Someone who did not do all the studying and the reading and the ruminating 
> of the issue involved, will not be able to hand down the same knowledge as 
> I can, due to my investments.
> You cannot check all this; people who attended your class and got your 
> handout, can later on do it without even telling you.
> Even though it is good to know that they want to further disseminate the 
> knowledge you handed them, it doesn't feel right not to be able to make 
> money from it as a pplc and to see people walk away with it.
> I find this an unethical and disrespectful way of dealing with stuff your 
> colleague drew up. If the organisation doesn't want to pay, how do they 
> think they can have quality training?
> How do other people deal with it? I can ask her to make the audience clear 
> that it was my material, but hey... if she doesn't have thorough 
> knowledge... how can she hand down my information in the right way?
> Do I want to be associated with it, if I don't know what she is gonna say 
> about it? No. Do I want to be fully left out of the picture as if she had 
> figured it out all by herself even though she is plagiarizing? No.
> So... what IS a good way to deal with this...? Any suggestions? No more 
> handouts? Only a text? Sell the handouts afterwards? Probably won't work 
> either...
> Make her transfer the money of the extra hours she would have to put into 
> making the presentation to me? Call the organisation and offer my 
> training? Pretty bold... ;o)
> I hope some of you can share their ideas with me. Thanks in advance!

> Warmly,
