Book description
In his first two best-selling books Presentation Zen and
Presentation Zen Design, Garr Reynolds gave readers the
necessary tools for planning and designing successful
presentations. Establishing the framework for beautifully designed
and well-prepared presentations, he now examines the delivery of
the presentation in this handy, beautiful, and simple guide.
The Naked Presenter teaches readers how they can reach an
audience by stripping away all that is unnecessary to get at the
essence of the message. The naked presenter approaches the
presentation task embracing the ideas of simplicity, clarity,
honesty, integrity, and passion. She presents with a certain
freshness. The ideas may or may not be radical, earth shattering,
or new. But there is a "newness" and freshness to her approach and
to her content. And if she uses slideware, her slides fit well with
her talk and are harmonious with her message. The slides are in
sync, and are simple and beautifully designed, yet never steal the
show or rise above serving a strong but simple supportive
role.
In this book, readers will learn how to achieve that balance and
gain the skills to deliver presentations that are natural and
memorable.
