Presentation Tips from Steve Jobs
A few thing presentation ideas from Steve Jobs:
- He hardly ever looks back at the presentation.
- There are hardly any words on the slides, leave alone lengthy bullet points.
- Even when he's sharing the financial results of the company (in the beginning), he makes them fun to listen to.
- He is driving the presentation, not the other way around. He's delivering the message, and the slides are giving the added impact to his message.
- His words are in absolute sync with the slides.
- There are no useless headers, footers or logos on every slide, that we often use on ours. It gives that extra space, flexibility and freshness to every slide.
- You can hardly notice the remote controller in his hand. There are no other visible gadgeteries on him, distracting the audience.
- He's so relaxed and calm, and that makes the audience comfortable and receptive to his message.
- He's so focused on the message. Not even once did he stray from the topic.
- He's unbelievably well familiar with the content on the slides. In the entire presentation, you won't see him going back on any slide even once. He did not fumble on a single word. Rehearsal, skills or simply the magic of a master craftsman? Perfection.
