What People are Saying About This

Nancy Duarte

"Garr is a beacon of hope for frustrated audiences everywhere. His design philosophy and fundamental principles bring life to messages and can invigorate careers. His principles of simplicity are as much a journey of the soul as they are restraint of the mouse."--(Nancy Duarte, CEO, Duarte Design)

Merlin Mann

"Presentation Zen is just fantastic. Best of all it's not another recipe book about "how to make slides" - this is about re-imagining how your entire presentation will work together as a persuasive and integrated show, from conception through delivery. Awesome."--(Merlin Mann, 43folders.com )
