Overview
Best-selling author and popular speaker Garr Reynolds is back in
this newly revised edition of his classic, best-selling book,
Presentation Zen, in which he showed readers there is a
better way to reach the audience through simplicity and
storytelling, and gave them the tools to confidently design and
deliver successful presentations.
In this new edition, Garr gives his readers new, fresh examples to
draw inspiration from, with a whole new chapter for those who
present on more technical and educational topics based on
techniques used by many presenters who give high-level talks at TED
and other powerhouse events. Whether the reader is in research,
technology, business, or education – this book will show them
how to take what could look like a really dry presenation and
reinvigorate the material in totally fresh (and sometimes
interactive!) ways that will make it memorable and resonate with
the audience.
Staying true to the mission of the first), Garr combines solid
principles of design with the tenets of Zen simplicity to help
readers along the path to simpler, more effective presentations
that will be appreciated, remembered, and best of all, acted
upon.
