Steve Jobs - Innovator, CEO and great presenter

While many point to the late Steve Jobs as a great inventor, innovator, business man and CEO. Presenter is another title which suits him well

Apple keynote presentations create a buzz unlike any other, not just because of the pre-speech build up but also due to his on stage demeanour and presentation technique.

I've had a look around and found some interesting points regarding what makes a great presentation, the Steve Jobs way:

1. Setting the theme
2. Outlining
3. Emphasis
4. The 'unforgettable moment'
5. Images>Text
6. Ignore minor mishaps
7. Benefits to the user rather than the product
8. Practice

Many of these points were re affirmed in a lecture today: 

1. One idea per slide
2. Reinforce the core message
3. Create a thread throughout (Much like a comedian)
4. Images>Text
5. An introduction should be strategic and not technical
6. Keep track of time, have a timer in view
7. Rehears and repeat, goes without saying but not often done
8. Answer questions succinctly and don't deviate (unless a politician)
9. Concluding is not summarising
