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.

Quotes and book recommendation by Charlie Munger

These quotes were taken from the following site . “We both (Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett) insist on a lot of time being available almost every day to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. We read and think.”   ―   Charles T. Munger “We all are learning, modifying, or destroying ideas all the time. Rapid destruction of your ideas when the time is right is one of the most valuable qualities you can acquire. You must force yourself to consider arguments on the other side.”   ―   Charles T. Munger “In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time -- none, zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren(Buffett) reads -- at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out".”   ―   Charles T. Munger ,   Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T.
