Presentation Master of the Digital Age



Steve Jobs was never a geek wizard like his co-founder partner The Woz. Steve was always the visionary who knew what the world needed before the world knew. He most certainly was an over demanding micro manager who expected nothing less than perfection. The same was true of the founder of McDonalds and Nike. Name me one great corporate leader or manager who build a business from scratch? But this is not a section on management style. This is the business presentation training section.

Steve jobs has a long history of being the inspirational leader of Apple. No doubt he is the master of the digital age presentations that can span the global and build bridges between generations of digital users.

Below is Steve, introducing the iPod. Listen to how he delivers the business case for iPod. Notice how he uses the big screen presentation. It augments his presentation with powerful visualization aids but Steve never uses slides as note cards to read. He does have a bad habit of pacing and removing his eye focus from the audience to much. But hay, this is Steve Jobs.



College and Professional public speaking training is always worth the time. But you can get free training simply by listening to powerful communicators and analyzing what made the presentation powerful to you. Below listen to Steve Jobs in 1983 provide inspiration to developers,workers and the news media.
