If you have ever seen Steve Jobs give a presentation about what's happening in the world of Mac and Apple, you'll know exactly what I'm expounding on. The distinction between the way he presents and the way in which the majority of individuals in the corporate world present is significant. The basic presentation in meetings or seminars in our day goes something like this:
Joe gets up and right away flips on his PowerPoint presentation. Every single one of his 72 slides has 250 words on it. He could actually publish a whole book if he printed it. There are absolutely no pictures (let alone video clips) and the colour contrast between the written text and the background (did he really use that template from last decade?) is way too low and stresses your eyes. And most annoying, he is looking at (because he's basically reading) his PowerPoint presentation 85% of the time. "When's the next coffee break?" is the foremost thought on everybody's mind.
These are just a couple of descriptions of the travesties that happen regularly in meetings you and I are in. Okay now we're going to contrast this picture with a Steve Jobs presentation:
Despite the fact that Steve has a huge projection screen behind him showing his slideshow, he is the center of focus of the presentation. He instantly captivates his audience with personal rapport pretending just like his presentation isn't even going on behind him. All throughout as he flows through his content, his message is simply illustrated through slides with a relevant picture or several words. In a split second the audience can figure out the full message of a particular slide as it strongly undergirds what ever Steve is expressing at that specific moment. As a result, He is able to hold the audience's attentiveness on him , not the projector screen. All the while Steve is moving along through his hour-long presentation, yet for the audience it is almost like mere seconds have gone by.
You don't need to be Steve Jobs to give a great presentation. Just learn from the best. Public speaking isn't as hard as many people think it is. May your next presentation as good as Steve's.
