How To Present Like Steve Jobs
It's been a while since I posted anything Apple related. I blame it on tablet rumour fatigue. All I can say is, lets hope to hell this Event on the 27th January is a religious experience. Kara Swisher over at All Things D has been joining in the iTablet rumour hype and ended off a post with a video of how to present like Mr Jobs. I thought I'd break it down for you below the video, save you 6 minutes of your already evaporating life. But seriously, it's worth a watch, especially if you work for Google and you presented the... um... NexusOne... err... 'show'.
Set the theme
- Make your theme clear and consistant.
- Create a headline that sets the direction for your meeting.
Provide the outline
- Make it easy for your listeners to follow your story.
- Open and close your points to transition from one point to the next.
Demonstrate enthusiasm
- Extraordinary, amazing, cool, unbelievable, awesome.
- Wow your audience.
Sell an experience
- If you offer numbers and statistics, make them meaningful.
- Analogies help connect the dots for your audience.
Make it visual
- Paint a simple picture that doesn't overwhelm.
- Small on bullet points, big on visuals.
Give them a show
- Identify your memorable moment and build up to it.
That's it! That's all there is to it. Simple no? No.
