Combining the solid principles of design with the tenets of Zen simplicity, Presentation Zen, Third Edition , puts you solidly on the path to creating simpler, more effective presentations that will be appreciated, remembered, and best of all, acted upon.
“Presentation Zen changed my life and the lives of my clients. The philosophy and approach so elegantly explained in Garr’s book will inspire your audience. Don’t even think of giving another presentation without it!”
Carmine Gallo
