Steve Jobs
- He’s one of the most famous presenters in the world, the founder of Apple computers, Steve Jobs.
- He perfected the art of corporate presentations & it’s from watching him that I learnt many of my presentation tips.
- The presentations which he made to introduce Apple products literally made trillions of dollars, so not a bad example for us to follow…
Pixar
- Steve Jobs is best known for Apple, but he was involved in Pixar too. Pixar makes animated films & films are another form of presentation.
- The company has never had a dud, always great films, because as Jobs explains in the video, they make the movies backwards; they film them last.
- You should do the same with your presentation. Create it first, make the slides last.
Content is king
- As jobs points out, it’s the story or content which is the key to a great movie not the technology you use.
- I’ve often seen other presentation teachers tell students that it’s the way you present & not what you present which the audience will react to (voice & body movement).
- I completely disagree. Like movies, It’s the content (you create first) which is the key.
Hope this helps!
Happy presenting!
See you next time!
