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

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

by Garr Reynolds

Amazon Price: $19.79 (as of 05/11/2008)

One of the most extraordinary books you'll find on any topic, this one happens to be about something we all can do better... presentations.

The one thing to remember about PowerPoint:

It's not a teleprompter.

If you are reading your slides,
you're doing it wrong.

I love his blog. It has opened my eyes to doing things differently - seeing that the way we have always done it, does not mean we have to continue that way, especially in the business world.

I greatly anticipate this book as a way to improve my presentations. Cliff Atkinson opened my eyes a few years ago and now I look forward to Garr's wisdom. It will also be interesting to see what this book does for istockphoto.com.

Been a fan of Garr and the PZ approach for a while. It's bang on. My colleagues consider me a presentation rockstar, thanks to him...and that was after about 5 minutes on his blog. So simple - so powerful.

Thanks - as someone who agrees - PowerPoint can go beyond bullets - I can hardly wait to read the book!

Great lens. I haven't read any of Garr's books, yet. But they are based on a much needed topic.

I've seen his book but didn't look at it--thanks for focusing my attention on something that looks very cool. I will check him out.

I've read Garr's blog. He's soooooooooo right. Nothing more discouraging than looking out in a group and seeing people nod off.
