Mastering Prezi for Business Presentations (Update)

Chapter 1. Understanding the Prezi Frame of Mind

Although it is certainly possible to use Prezi in a similar way to other presentation tools, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Prezi opens up new ways of presenting that simply aren't possible with the other tools. While teaching others how to use Prezi, we have discovered that the biggest learning curve is not usually the technical aspect of how to use the tool itself, but rather how to understand and start thinking in what we call the Prezi frame of mind. Many of us have become so accustomed to the slides made prominent by PowerPoint that it's difficult to think outside of the box—literally outside of the box that makes up the slide. Prezi opens up our presentational possibilities in new and exciting ways. Just as important as learning how to use the technical aspect of Prezi is learning how to think Prezi. As we work through the technical elements, we will also reinforce how these elements can help us think differently about how to present.

In this first chapter, we will get an overview of what these different types of presentations look like, covering the following topics:

  • Thinking about nonlinear presentations
  • Planning your Prezi
  • Mind mapping
  • Deciding the BIG picture
  • Common Prezi mistakes

I've presented using Prezi before, but I never really got the hang of using it effectively. I moved back to PowerPoint. The first chapter of this smart and timely book points out what I didn't catch the first time: even though I tried to use the Prezi tools, I still was thinking in a linear way about planning my presentations. Before even introducing the software, the authors dedicate a full chapter to thinking in a non-linear way. This initially surprised me, but as I read through it, their suggestions, comments, and advice started to click. Everything else in the book flows from that initial idea: to do Prezi well, you have to think non-linearly from the very beginning of content development, not as an afterthought or as a way of making it look cool. That realization alone is powerful.Chapters 2 and 3 give the basics and then a deep dive into the design features of a Prezi--I didn't know I could use CSS in this program, but now I know that and more. Dozens of helpful step-by-step tutorials with multiple images abound, whether that's for learning how to insert a line, create a path, or import slides from PowerPoint (Chapter 4). Common frustrations such as import failures, content loss, and uneven sound levels are addressed, which helps immensely. One of the biggest bonuses is the tutorials on how to use technologies outside Prezi (Inkscape, Audacity, YouTube) in conjunction with Prezi. The chapters on mobile/tablet use, remote presenting and collaboration are also thoughtful.Each chapter is impressively documented with images and text; I will return to the chapters in the future to brush up on my techniques. The book even details not just how to present a Prezi effectively (aspect ratios! they matter!), but how to create an interactive whiteboard on the cheap to make your Prezis truly remarkable. (And if you're not convinced about their thoroughness, there's some even technical code-related work you can delve into on presenting your Prezi on the web.) To cap it all off, they finish with a chapter on how to help "Prezi masters" in PowerPoint-dominated companies transition their colleagues and bosses to Prezi. This long, detailed, thoughtful book is a one-stop shop for everything you need to know about Prezi, whether you've never used it, used it a ton, or are seeking to teach others how to use it.

I have always used Microsoft PowerPoint for presentations and I'm a newcomer to Prezi (in fact I plan to be using both, depending on the occasion). I was therefore looking for a book that can both introduce me to a new concept/way of thinking about presentations but also give me enough knowledge to create a presentation good enough for a demanding audience. Mastering Prezi for Business Presentations is a great book as it did achieve both.Things I liked:•Good for newcomers it's a "master" series but also great for beginners•Well structured and edited•Information is presented in a methodical (there's "steps" guiding throughout) way so for people with already some expertise they can use it for reference (no need to read from cover to cover).•Good balance of pictures/screenshots with content•Starts with overview and some general guidance (for beginners) and then jumps into the nitty gritty stuff•It presents additional information about a topic for those non-experts. For example when talking about Prezi and images, it also gives an overview of raster vs. vector, popular editors, description of file formats and advantages/disadvantages of each in relation to Prezi as well - for example how to find images, vectorize and insert.•Also found very useful the "summary tables" which help the reader decide on a technology or file format, feature etc.I haven't found anything negative although I must admit I haven't read it from cover to cover. I have yet to try the Prezi API, there's always the possibility of errors lurking in the JavaScript code.. ;-)Overall a well-written book, recommended for both beginners and intermediate readers. I cannot say I am necessarily a master of Prezi yet but I certainly feel confident I can do quite a lot with it.

I've been a Prezi user for several years and was looking for a good intro to all the features. It was recommended by one of the authors in some tutorials I saw on YouTube. While there were some helpful guides to using basic features, the book covers a version of Prezi that isn't up to date so there are some significant holes and a few changes that are different from the book. For example, paths in the old version we're much more flexible than they are in the current version. The food news is that for now, the old version is available as Prezi Classic, so the book is more relevant for that app than the latest version. I have found the book a helpful supplement to the information I've found on The Prezenter YouTube channel that is hosted by the author

A guide to Prezi for the many of us who already use that presentation tool but want to move to the next level of mastery. The book is great in suggesting what is really new in Prezi - the '3D' approach which allows to escape from the linearity of PPT and offers your audience an idea of the complexity you are talking about. This really 'hands-on' guide helps you in clarifying how to transform a presentation in a storytelling experience. I have found dozens of good tips to communicate clearly, consistently and effectively with Prezi. Not to forget, many good ideas to avoid motion sickness...I'd recommend this book to all those who don't just want to 'jazz up' their slides, but are looking for a way to get the most out of Prezi. Why not 5 stars? There is so much enthusiasm in the author's words, perhaps too much for down-to-earth people.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
