Steve Jobs as a Speaker
Steve Jobs of Apple is considered one of the most effective speakers in (North) America. He knows how to create hype and deliver his ideas in a fun and easy-to-understand way. If you haven't seen him speak before, that's okay. I have embedded a video below that'll give you a glimpse.
We Need to Make Our Presentations Fun and Less Boring
We're often asked to make presentations or give a pitch about an idea. The question is - How do we do it effectively? Sometimes, presentations last for 10 minutes and sometimes it lasts for an hour. We've also packed our presentations so full of information and stats that it has almost become pointless to present. It would probably be easier to send your stakeholders the presentation in an email.
I've Been Guilty of That and I Want to Change
I hope you'll join me on this quest to make presentations more interesting and fun after watching this clip on The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs by Carmine Gallo. (He also wrote a book about this that I think I might end up buying. Has anyone read it? Any good? Let me know!) I want to create hype, make my ideas easy to understand and leave my audience members wanting for me. Do you? Join me!
