Nine presentation lessons from Steve Jobs found to be useful, meaningful and reliable.
1. Show your passion: Use simple terms and engage your audience by writing their enthusiasm.
2. One sentence summary of the product: Called as 'twitter-friendly headlines', they deliver main message behind product.
3. The 'Three' rule: He believed '3' is a powerful number. It is easier than 20 and give more information than 2.
4. Bring the villian: Every story needs a villian to highlight the hero. People need to be made to see why they might need the product.
5. Bring the hero: After highlighting the viallian, bring in the hero and provide customers a good-enough reason.
6. Simple and visual slides: Keep the data simple. The average slide has 40 words. Jobs finished his first in 19 words itself.
7. Tell them stories: Tell them little stories of how you cam up with the idea of the product or when you felt the need to have the product in your life.
8. Prepare and practice: Practice the presentation beforehand at the presentation venue. Helps you give it more confidently.
9. Don't read from notes: Giving a presentation without referring for points and information shows how confident and involved you were with the project.
