In this episode we are joined by Garr Reynolds. Garr is an internationally acclaimed communications consultant and the author of best-selling books including the award-winning Presentation Zen, Presentation Zen Design, and the Naked Presenter. Garr’s approach to communication takes the principles and lessons from simplicity and traditional arts in Japan to reveal clear, concrete tips for communicating — and living — better. His approach has inspired people all over the world to communicate more clearly, creatively, and visually. In this episode, we explore what has and has not changed since he first launched Presentation Zen in 2007 and authentic storytelling in the age of Corona.
Before I knew Garr as a sought-after speaker and consultant, I knew him as ガー先生 and my professor at Kansai Gaidai University. Garr was perhaps the first person to point me in the direction of Design Thinking. My life would be drastically different if I had not attend his classes all those years ago, and I hope that the next hour has somewhat of the same affect on you.
