There is no doubt that when it comes to doing keynotes (powerpoints, slide shows, whatever you want to call them) Steve Jobs is certainly someone we can all learn from.
These keynotes are the launch pads for new products & can often be the key factor in their success.
So no matter what niche or industry you are in, if you sell something you can benefit from a lesson from Steve!
So I’ve put together a few funny lessons from Steve that can help us all improve our presentation skills.
Lesson 1: Don’t be afraid to use lot’s of superlatives
Lesson 2: If possible give a live demo of your product (And prepare so there’s no glitches!)
Lesson 3: Give your audience more then they’re expecting
Even though the videos above are a bit of fun there is no doubt that a lot can be learned from Steve Jobs when it comes to doing presentations. In fact there’s even a book on the subject.
So next time your doing a video presentation, a power point or keynote or even creating video sales letters keep Steve in mind!

Great post and so true – some key information there – thanks
There’s a few techniques Steve Jobs uses in his presentations. These techniques are from ZEN – a set of buddist meditation techniques.
They are like:
- Steve opens presentations and evokes strong feelings
- he opens and closes sections and makes it easier to follow his ideas
- he uses strong descriptions and emotional themes
- he has open posture
etc.
There’s a few sites on the web describing his means to success. I found one I want to show you:
