Steve Jobs presentation style

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Recently I was discussing with my manager and a colleague on tips to give a great presentation. Some of the points we talked about

  • Keeping the audience on their toes
  • Having the air around energized with excitement
  • Showing passion for what you are presenting

These tips don’t necessarily have to be observed when delivering a keynote or launching a product or marketing etc. It could be used at your next sales meeting, team meeting or just about any meeting. I wanted to add one more to the 3 tips above. Using positive adjectives! No matter what it is you are talking about, use as many positive adjectives you can. It will give your audience a sense of enthusiasm. As an example, watch this video. Kudos to who ever made it. This is the iPad launch, by one of the most eloquent CEOs that can present with a flair.
