Presentation Zen will help presenters see the process in a way
that is different, simpler, more visual, more natural, more effective, and ultimately
far more meaningful.
Presentations are generally poor because their creators have learned bad habits
and lack awareness and knowledge about what makes for a great presentation (and
what does not). This book aims to help people break out of the rut of making
typical PowerPoint presentations. This book provides an equal dose of inspiration
and education. The content focuses on helping readers become (1) more aware,
(2) more knowledgeable, and (3) more inspired. Presentation Zen is a provocative
mix of illumination, education, and guidance. What may seem like common sense
regarding presentations is not common practice.
Presentation Zen is an approach to presentations that is appropriate
for our age, an age in which design thinking, storytelling and so-called right-brain
thinking are crucial. Those who are talented communicators and skilled in design
and storytelling are increasingly in demand.
Balancing the principles of design, the tenets of Zen simplicity, multimedia
and cognitive learning theory, along with practical advice from the field, the
book is a visual and instructional tour d'force.
