Wondering How to do a Great presentation in front of big group of people?

Here, let me share with you how Steve Jobs,the legendary CEO of Apple, introducing his new product the MacBook Air ultra-portable laptop.

What do you feel After watching it? Isn't a WOW and inspiring presentation? or may be you have the same idea as me, to take one Macbook Air laptop home :)

So let's discuss little bit how he made this presentation as Pros? Here is some tips I observed from this video:

•  Know your Audience

What do your audience want and expect from you？Steve Jobs apparentlly knows what his audience what.

• Start out fast and strong

No "Good evening", "Ladies and gentlemen"," thank you for inviting me her to speak",blah, blah, blah. Start with something unexpected,different, original and get the audience's attention immediately.

• Powerpoint is not all my presentation

Let the powerpoint assist you but not replace you.

• Leave the lectern

Move,walk,stroll,pace,stand!it makes your presentation much more interesting for the audience if you do.Movement generates a secret weapon which you'll need as a speaker-it gives you energy.

Hope these tips can help you.

Cheers！
