The Naked Presenter: Delivering Powerful Presentations With or Without Slides by Garr Reynolds

The Naked Presenter: Delivering Powerful Presentations With or Without Slides by Garr Reynolds

Once, Reynolds and his colleagues went to a large outdoor Japanese hot spring. Since everyone was naked, they were feeling very relaxed both physically and mentally. When naked, hierarchical differences between people subside, interpersonal communication and connection becomes smoother, devoid of barriers and formalities. People get closer and their thoughts connect.

‘Naked presentation’ refers to the establishment of communication and connection with the audience in a direct, sincere, and simple way.The speaker's true and natural personality is thoroughly exposed. Naked presentation requires the speaker to show his or her true self, and put the audience first to achieve a natural and conversational style of speech.

In this book, the author uses vivid examples and descriptive metaphors to tackle questions like how to understand the audience, how to prepare a speech, how to grasp the audience’s attention, how to use stories and more.
