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.
