Zen Presentations

"Presentation is the "killer" skill, said Garr Reynolds at a meeting of the Foreign Women Lawyers Association held in Roppongi Hills last night. "The competition sucks, but; you don't have to." Garr, formerly of Apple and now at teaching marketing and branding in Osaka, has quite a following for his "naked presentations." He encouraged the crowd to take risks. Forget about PowerPoint. Connect with your audience.
