Small business owners and marketers are often called on to give presentations. In fact, hosting workshops and seminars is a great way to get in front of a group of prospects in a focused setting.

I’ve been a huge fan of Garr Reynolds’ blog for a long time and I would like to suggest that his book, Presentation Zen, become required reading for anyone who creates business presentations and PowerPoint or Keynote slides to use for meetings, workshops and seminars.

“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.”
