We found out that presentations were going to look :
-
More simple
-
Shorter
-
More personal
-
More interactive
-
Collaborative
-
More fun
What does it mean for us, NOW?
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Leonardo da Vinci
Simplicity
We are looking for the core message. Go right to the essential.
Forget about complicated animated PowerPoints.
Forget about “looking the smartest”
Forget about “wanting to Impress “others
Don’t try to say it all. You can’t.
Look for authenticity and down-to-earth communication.
Find the flower of simplicity inside of you.
Nurture it. Make it grow. Share it.
Go “naked”, be at ease with the few tools you are using.
Be “ZEN”.
Be generous with your simplicity. Share it when you present to others 🙂

Hi Marion,
Thank you for embedding Yoshi’s video. The spot where he organizes “things” truly made me feel more relaxed!
Yesterday I attended a presentation where the presenter slipped in a section that was irrelevant to the core message. It made me feel uncomfortable and I observed audience members shift and squirm in their seats.
It was a strong message to me to keep it simple and stay focused.
Marion this is a great post, its given me a lot of ideas. Thanks for sharing it.
