Present Like Steve Jobs

Comments (0) by Sean Burke

Most public speakers are average and that is being kind. They probably think they are good - if not great - but they wouldn’t admit greatness though, so as to not seem arrogant. I once was one of them too (the unaware) …then I got the punch in the gut I needed, when I worked with a challenging speech coach. Now I am a “B-” with no illusions that becoming an “A” will be easy.

If you want to be a good public speaker, you must invest the time. Research your topic, paint pictures, share emotions not facts, tell stories don’t pontificate, remember it’s about them not you. Also realize that you will likely never be a top 1%’er.

Steve Jobs must have invested countless hours in preparation over the years to get this good - and he is not just good - he is awesome!
