“Presentations” Video Playlist
This is a YouTube playlist I created about Presentations. The playlist opens with an explainer about great presentations by Wienot Films, features three clips with Garr Reynolds (author, Presentation Zen) and Nancy Duarte (author, Slide:ology,) arguably the godfather and godmother of modern preso decks (and they seem like such nice people too!), tosses in a TED talk with Garr Reynolds (again), and then wraps with Scott Berkun demoing an Ignite talk at Ignite Seattle.
Here’s the running order:
- How to Give an Awesome (PowerPoint) Presentation (Whiteboard Animation Explainer Video).
- Video Q&As with Zen-master Garr Reynolds (part 1 of 3)
- Video Q&As with Zen-master Garr Reynolds (part 2 of 3)
- Video Q&As with Zen-master Garr Reynolds (part 3 of 3)
- Story, Imagery, & the Art of 21st Century Presentation: Garr Reynolds at TEDxKyoto 2012
- How and Why to Give an Ignite Talk – Scott Berkun
