Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery by Garr Reynolds

5.0

The best book about presentations. It's also structured like a good presentation, so the author gives the impression he knows what he's talking about. And he is right. The road to an efficient presentation is minimalism.

* Computer as a bike or car? Analogy. Who is in control?
* Pen and paper boost creativity and overview
* Solitude for creativity and discoveries. Community for improvement.
* Major questions:
* How much time
* Location and time
* Audience expectations and their background
* Fundamental purpose of the talk
* What's the story
* What is my absolute central point, if everyone remembers only one thing
* Dakara nani = So what? Ask yourself tough questions in the planning phase
* Clarity = sell the main point in 30-45 seconds. elevator pitch.
* A whole lot about the story and personal style and voice
* To amplify simplify
* Quotes are ok for some presentations.
* Empty space is also ok
