Learn how to present like a Rock God (AKA Steve Jobs)

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I get asked all the time for more information, ideas and suggestions on ways to improve presentation skills. So I have posted some great material I have found online and here is more. Steve Job’s is considered one of the worlds best presenters at the moment (in all likelihood he is the best). Enjoy this video, see how simple his style is and how easy it is to duplicate.

So why do so many people continue to do such crappy, lifeless, useless presentations? I simply don’t know. Slow, painful and pointless death by PowerPoint.

As a professional presenter I guarantee that if you use Steve Jobs as the role model for your presentation style, and be confident and passionate enough to pull it off, you will have amazing results.

Adding a little fun to your business

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

I was sent a link to a website called The Fun Theory (www.thefuntheory.com) the other day. It is a concept backed by Volkswagen and it shows how human behaviour can be influenced in a very positive way by making day to day tasks more fun. There are a series of short videos that support the concept – and show that all the signs, instructions and rules could be replaced by simply having some fun.

I think this principle can be applied with HUGE benefits in a business. I have been talking about this for years and I see those businesses who incorporate a healthy dose of fun into what they do striving way ahead of their competitors.

ENJOY.
