This will be my first post of my first blog! I'm excited to venture into a new realm of learning and only ask for your patience as I become more e-literate... Oh dear, no pun intended.
In regards to Presentation Zen, by Garr Reynolds, I was blown away by the first page. He had me at, "Japanese beers." Not only could I tell how much I would enjoy this author's voice but to add to it, my love of Eastern culture? Bonus! I found myself fully drawn in and was also retrospective in presentations I gave and how I fared. Also, recalling presentations I had seen that fit the bill on the one he described was his inspiration for the book.
It makes absolute sense, and anyone who has witnessed a PowerPoint presentation knows, that you simply can not read loads of bullet marks unless the speaker is reading verbatim. In which case why are we reading this? Or why are you here and not a memo? I absolutely agree with this. This is what is off-kilter with many presentations today causing all parties involved to suffer.
I hope to echo this concept of minimalism and naturalism.
