Keep it visual, keep it simple, keep it sophisticated, make it fun

Communications coach Carmine Gallo has summed up the techniques of stellar presenter Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, in his new book and in this Business Week slide show. It’s well worth watching. 

Some speakers do not realize how powerful a good PowerPoint/Keynote presentation can be. Their slide shows are covered in dozens of bullet points and words and more words and even more words. A Steve Jobs’ slide will contain no more than 10 words — and often no words at all! Strikingly simple, they rely on the strength of great images.
