Why Steve Jobs?
Arguably, the world’s best storyteller for business…
Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates vs. Will Ferrell
As Commencement Speaker to Stanford, Harvard & Columbia
University

ferrell.html?q=steve

Man RIP, gadget obsolete, brand
& story ENDURES
What do YOU SEE?

1.Why?
Life is not FAIR! 15 min> 40 hours
Your 15-30 minute weekly oral report
May have greater impact to your career
than the rest of the 40 hours you worked
during that week
A great part of management’s judgment of YOU
is based on what , how you report.

A lot of effort is wasted violating this
universal law:
For every action
There MUST BE
An equal and opposite reaction
We MUST GET a reaction to
our business reports!

Use A Descriptive Outline
Effective Communication Requires 3 Steps
1. Introduce what you will say… (Outline)
2. Say it (Body)
3. Repeat what you just said… (Conclusion)

1. Outline
2. Introduction
3. Body
4. Conclusion
5. Summary
Wrong Outline: Generic words

Why use power ppt? (Intro)
Techniques (Body)
Meeting Customer Needs (Conclusion)
Why, How, Who? (Summary)
A Better outline describes…

1. Sales
2. Opex
3. Income
4. Shrinkage
5. Personnel
Poor Outline: No added value

1. Sales: +3% to 150M, -2% LLY
2. Opex: +5% to 4M
3. Income: +4% to 10M
Better Outline:
YTD Performance: Income +4%
due to higher sales

Focus on the Big Ideas
(Communicate, NOT confuse
More is NOT merrier)

If this represents
everything true
about the product
price, terms, specs, benefits, availability
how to use, who endorses it, brand, etc.
What’s the complete idea?

This is what you say
To customer
Everything can get lost in the
translation

To customer
What they hear & see
translation

To customer
What they distort
translation

To customer
What they distort
What they remember
translation

To customer
What they distort
What they remember
Avoid communication errors!

This is what you CAN say
This is what you ACTUALLY say
What they distort
What they remember
Focus on the big idea!
Learn from the 30 second TV ad

Sell the SIZZLE, not the steak
Remember when you were trying to impress someone?

With SIZZLE
Enlarge the sizzle with smoke and sound
48

With SIZZLE
What they distort
What they remember
Do it well and there is no loss in translation

With SIZZLE
What they distort
What they remember
Customer buys everything!
If they buy sizzle,
They buy steak,
sauce, burnt
meat & all.

Follow 7 x7 Rule
Less than 7 lines,
Less than 7 words per line
Avoids Clutter
Allows Emphasis of Key Ideas

Why do we need power presentations?
Unnecessary building distracts power
presentations
There is no picture here that can liven page in this
example.
A power presentor does not have cue cards.
Everything he needs is in the slide.
Too many words disallow the use of accompanying
pictures
Tendency to just read off (ala narrator)
See “power presentations” repeated 4 x.
This outline is too wordy… uses complete
sentences and no abbreviations. Not 7 x 7

Why use power ppt? (Intro)
Techniques (Body)
Meeting Customer Needs (Conclusion)
Why, How, Who? (Summary)
This follows 7 x 7 rule

Law of Relevant Numbers
Too many numbers confuse!
Too little and it may hide truth
24M sales not 24,102,304.39
2.4% shrinkage (loss) not 2%

Law of Relevant Numbers
Too many numbers confuse!
24M sales not 24,102,304.39

Too many details. No emphasis!

2 examples of wasted time and
effort
What
time is
it?
6:30
& 23 sec
And 9:30
In
NewYork

What’s the problem?

1. Set the theme
2. Outline
c. Follow 7 x7
d. Use only relevant numbers
e. Slides are Free
f. Use as Notes

Slides are FREE.
Don’t overcompress.
Presenting Five 1-idea slides
are faster than
getting audience confused with 1 cluttered slide

Your slide = Your notes
Don’t hold a notebook, cue card
Don’t say something & not show it.
Slides should self-explain, stand-alone.
