Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter)

Nothing particularly exciting nor revelatory going on here. Some nice layouts and references / quotes but at the end of the day it's still powerpoint - like putting lipstick on a pig!

Very high quality teaching material on how to prepare and deliver presentations. Simple, readable, and well illustrated, it doesn't contain a single unnecessary word or image. It was enjoyable enough to read through in my spare moments in a day and come away feeling refreshed and creatively inspired.

Most books on using presentation software seem to start with the assumption that the software makes sense and that organizing content is the secret to a good presentation. Here, Garr Reynolds strips away those assumptions and asks you to think of presentations as they truly are--visual stories. They're more like movies than books and Garr opens up the possibilities through a radically different approach to designing slides.

The book offers many beautiful examples and an engaging and reflective style that inspires you to create truly impactful presentations. These principles are particularly important for government communicators.

This book will change the way you use PowerPoint. It is a must for developing a great presentation. Excellent examples, great writing, and easy to employ ideas.

This book will revolutionize the way you present. It includes invaluable tips on how to plan your presentation, simplify your ideas, tell interesting stories, and put together a presentation that will hook your audience. A must read!
