Entrepreneur.com brought five tips on how to inspire from Steve Jobs in your own presentations.
Choose one key point and clearly show it
Steve Jobs knew that audience could not absorb reams of information during one presentation. Stick to one topic only - both in your words and visuals.
Adapt to your audience
The audience came to your presentation for a reason that you should know. Only then you can design your presentation for the audience to really perceive it.
Bet on immediate personal connection
Steve Jobs has always started by establishing an emotional connection with the audience. That is how he got greater empathy and attention for the technical aspects of his presentations.
Keep your focus on your audience, not the presentation
The audience did not come to see your slides, they want to see and hear the speaker. Steve Jobs knew this and benefit from it.
Know your story
You should know the thing you want to tell the audience so well that you could present it without any visuals. Steve Jobs devoted a lot of time to preparation and creating exact scenarios. Even though you rather bet on improvisation you will not achieve anything without knowing the story you want to pass.
