Here is a very good sharing of Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs. Some very interesting secrets of Steve Jobs presentation - Preparation, Demand for Best, Practice, and Practices. This may be no secret when you pick up any one out of millions books out there teaching about Public Speaking or Public Presentation, everyone talks about practices and rehersal, but go ask any good speaker their secret to deliver a good presentation, they will tell the same thing.

Personally, I did public presentations for many times,and I have to admit personally that when I able to put the entire slides from sequences, contents and visualize the entire process into my brain, I can always give a good talks to the audience. When I did a last minutes ramp up of slides, the result can tell, it is normally either boring or 'the moment of I should have include this point into my talks' came after the end of my presentations.

Another thing impress me is that the concept of telling story instead of selling products works and rocks me~! 96 hours to put up a story line presentation... well I cant agree more on this. Normally it took me 72 - 96 hours to really put up the entire story line of a presentation (not full 96 hours but normally took me 2 - 3 days); and the another 1 day to have my slide in place and finding good 'impact' picture that allow audience to associate the picture to my points, avoid using bullet (I try to limit max 2 - 3 slides to have bullet... Still improving). 

As far, I am very passionate about public speaking and looking forward to continue improving in this area. Lastly, am very happy with overall efforts and resources I have spent during the preparation of the recent Digital Filipino e-Commerce Summit presentation. Finally able to reduce my slide to 30, and have no bullet point in content I wish to deliver (except the last announcement part where need audience to write down some notes). Looking forward for this coming Monday event, and hope to once again give some good time and infortainment to the dear audience who have invested the time and resources to come and listen to me

Lastly, what make a normal presentation speaker to the good one, and to the best, and world best is all about practices. It took Jobs 30 years to be the best of the best in the world, compare to what he did during the time he launched Mac in 1984. No secret, is all about practices - according to the book, about 10,000 solid hours to make us pro... so I just did my 100 hours public presentation, still 9,900 more hours to go.. ahaha!
