Liane is sharing tips for improving presentation skills based on her experience overcoming a childhood trauma of failing at a school presentation. She discusses practicing presentations at her job, where being a great presenter is essential. Some of her tips include standing up instead of sitting, keeping slides simple, making presentations interactive by asking questions, and using personal stories to connect with audiences. She recommends practicing presentations internally at work and reviewing books, speeches, and slides to continue improving skills.
Focus groups are semi-structured group interviews with 6-12 homogeneous participants that last 1-3 hours and are moderated. They are used to explore attitudes, opinions, behaviors, beliefs, recommendations, define problems, gather reactions to solutions, and test messages and packaging among other uses. Advantages include being socially-oriented, allowing for probing of reactions, being relatively inexpensive and quick. Disadvantages include being difficult to control, having questionable reliability, being difficult to recruit for, and not being suitable for confrontational situations, statistical projections or when confidentiality cannot be ensured.

39. Lexical Density- Easier to Understand Simpler Less Abstract Fewer Words Seattle Post Intelligencer ran transcripts through a software tool intended to measure “lexical density,” how difficult or easy it was to understand the language. They ran two pieces of text through the tool: Steve Jobs Macworld 2007 and Bill Gates CES 2007. Jobs’s words are simpler, phrases less abstract, and uses fewer words per sentence. He was much easier to understand.

65. Let’s do the math and I’ll show you why I don’t think Steve Jobs is a born speaker.
66. 1974 1984 1997 2007 I believe he improved substantially as a speaker every ten years. In 1974, Steve Jobs and his friend, Steve Wozniak would attend meetings of the Homebrew club, a computer hobbyist club in Silicon Valley. Together they started sharing their ideas and Apple was soon formed.
67. 1974 1984 1997 2007 Ten years later, 1984, Jobs gave a magnificent presentation when he launched the first Mactintosh. But his style was stiff compared to the Steve Jobs of today – he stood behind a lectern and read from a script.
68. 1974 1984 1997 2007 A decade later, in 1997, Jobs returned to Apple after an 11-year absence. He was more polished and more natural than in previous years. He began to create more visually engaging slides.
69. 1974 1984 1997 2007 Ten years later, 2007, Jobs took the stage at Macworld to introduce the iPhone. It was without question his greatest presentation to date – from start to finish. He hit a home run. But he was a vastly more comfortable presenter than he was twenty years earlier. The more he presents, the better he gets.
71. Steve Jobs is the anti-Cher. Where Cher will change costumes 140 times in one show, Jobs has one costume that he wears for every presentation – a black mock, blue jeans and running shoes. Now, why can he get away with it? Because he’s Steve Jobs. Seriously, when you invent revolutionary computers, music players and Smart Phones, your audience will give you permission to dress anyway you want.
73. Have Fun HAVE FUN! Most presenters lose sight of the fact that audiences want to be informed and entertained. A Jobs presentation is infotainment – he teaches his audience something new, reveals new products and has fun doing it.
74. During a technical glitch at Macworld 2007, Jobs paused and told a funny story about a prank he and Steve Wozniak played on Woz’s college buddies. The glitch was fixed and Jobs moved on. That’s cool confidence.
75. You’re time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. – Steve Jobs
76. I’d like to end with a piece of advice that Steve Jobs offered Stanford graduates during a commencement speech in 2005. He was talking about the lessons he learned after doctors discovered that he had pancreatic cancer. “You’re time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. Stay hungry, stay foolish.” Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. – Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs and John Sculley“Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?”
Truly great presenters like Steve Jobs visualize, plan and create ideas on paper (or whiteboards) well before they open the presentation software.
Design experts recommend that presenters spend the majority of their time thinking, sketching and scripting. Nancy Duarte recommends that a presenter spend 90 hours creating an hour long presentation with 30 slides. But only one third of that time is spent building slides. Another third is rehearsing, but the first third is spent collecting ideas, organizing ideas, and sketching the story.
MacBook Air. The world’s thinnest notebook.
iPod. One thousand songs in your pocket.
One of Steve Jobs’s favorite presentation metaphors is a three-act play. So in true Steve Jobs fashion, I’d like to introduce these concepts in three parts: Act 1: Create the Story Act 2: Deliver the Experience Act 3: Refine and Rehearse
Now, Steve Jobs does most of his demos. You don’t have to. In fact, in many cases, it makes more sense to bring in someone who has particular product knowledge.
In every classic story, the hero fights the villain. The same storytelling principle applies to every Steve Jobs presentation.
In 1984 when he introduced the Macintosh, Big Blue, IBM represented the villain.
Introducing an antagonist (the problem) rallies the audience around the hero.
SimplicityA Steve Jobs presentation is strikingly simple, highly visual and completely devoid of bullet points.
That’s right – no bullet points. Ever. New research into cognitive functioning—how the brain retains information--proves that bullet points are the least effective way to deliver important information.
According to John Medina, your brain interprets every letter as a picture so wordy slides literally choke your brain.
Let’s take a look at how Steve Jobs simplifies complex information.
Lexical densitySeattle Post Intelligencer ran transcripts through a software tool intended to measure “lexical density,” how difficult or easy it was to understand the language. The tool measured things like average number of words per sentence, number of hard words, how many years of education are required to understand the language. They ran two pieces of text through the tool: Steve Jobs Macworld 2007 and Bill Gates CES 2007. Jobs’s words are simpler, phrases less abstract, and uses fewer words per sentence. He was much easier to understand.Strive for simplicity – in slides and message.
For example when Steve Jobs introduced the iPod in 2001, he said it came with a 5GB of memory. He made the number more meaningful by saying 5GB provided enough storage for 1,000 songs. He broke it down even further by saying you could carry 1,000 songs “in your pocket.”Jobs always breaks down numbers to make them more interesting and meaningful.
Here’s another example. A reporter for Rolling Stone once asked Jobs what he thought of Apple’s market share being “stuck “at 5%. Jobs responded, “Our market share is greater than BMW or Mercedes and nobody thinks they are going away. As a matter of fact, they’re both highly desirable products and brands.”
What’s a petaflop? One thousand trillion calculations per second. IBM knew the number would be meaningless. It’s simply too big. So IBM added the following description to its press release:
