 Simple ideas need work June 9, 2009

So, simple ideas on presentation design and delivery. Yes there are those in this book. But too few and really simple. The rest is empty space, sample slides, quotes and references to other authors.
The book tells you this:
---
Most of today's presentations are done wrong. But doing it right is simple. You just have to know how to. Just like Tom, Dick and Harry who do awesome presentations.
...
It's all about creativity. You need to unleash yours. Here is a few hints about organizing your work.
...
The slides. Here is a few hints about graphical design. Have a look at a few samples. And a few more samples. And a few more. See ?
...
The audience. Work with it. Here is a few hints on the topic.
...
Now get out there and practice !

Bottom line: inspiring but sometimes obvious.

Presentation Zen is a short, powerful, and (appropriately enough) beautifully designed book offering all the information and insights you need to become a great presenter. Drawing on his own extensive experience presenting to Fortune 500 companies, his years in Japan, and the teachings of various other presentation masters like Seth Godin, Steve Jobs, and Guy Kawasaki, Reynolds guides you through everything you need to know about the preparation, design, and delivery of awesome presentations.
Join the forces of good against the evil of Death By PowerPoint! Read this book, benefit from it, and spread the world.

This is a thoroughly absorbing work. Interspersed with references to his life in Japan the author has written with a fresh richness of thought and clarity. I particularly enjoyed the link to Daniel Pink's book 'A whole New Mind.
