Garr Reynolds
Presentation guru
At the heart of any truly successful company is the ability to communicate effectively with the customers. Garr Reynolds has spent his professional life following this simple rule, traveling extensively to establish deep relationships of trust, support and loyalty between company and consumer. Currently a　Professor of Management at Kansai Gaidai University teaching Marketing, Global Marketing and Multimedia Presentation Design, Garr also shares his skills and expertise with the Japanese business community on topics that include design, branding and effective corporate communications. His presentations, product demos and keynote addresses in venues that include You Don't Know Mac in Oregon and the Mac Computer Expo in California helped create one of the most dedicated—perhaps nearly fanatical—customer bases ever seen. As a professor as well as an Nara resident, he delights in sharing his talents with his community and in mentoring the next generation of movers and shakers. Erase that cliché of the stuffy boardroom from your mind—Garr Reynolds has a whole vision for the business world that will take us far into the future.

ガー レイノルズ
プレゼンテーション指導者
「顧客と効果的にコミュニケーションを図る能力こそが、本当に成功している企業の秘訣である」。このシンプルなルールに基づき、企業と顧客が強固な信頼関係を築けるよう、奔走し続けてきたガー・レイノルズさん。キーノート・アドレス、つまり新製品発表会の基調講演などにおける彼のプレゼンテーションは、時に狂信的といわれるほどその企業の製品を長く愛用してくれる顧客の獲得につながりました。現在は、自分の経験や知識を生かし、デザインや、企業ブランディング、効果的なビジネスコミュニケーションについて、日本のビジネスシーンで貢献。また関西外国語大学英語キャリア学部の教授として、マーケティングや、マルチメディアを活用したプレゼンテーション論などを教えています。「型にはまった息苦しい会議室の記憶を消しなさい」。関西を活動の拠点としながら、次世代を担う人々の"メンター"として働きかけ続ける彼の言葉は、ビジネスの世界を未来へ導く新たなビジョンの表れなのです。

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
