Last Friday computer visionary Steve Jobs would have turned 65. The presentations of the Apple co-founder are still considered legendary today. He knew what moves us before we knew it ourselves. And he knew the ingredients for world-shaking presentations. Media coaches will gladly tell you the recipe in their training sessions.
Here is a little foretaste:
"Make yourself a hero. "
Find a bad guy. Problems open doors. Get your message across in a simple and clear way. The press will thank you for it. Present visions, not messages. Dreams sell better than products. Use little font. Use a large typeface. More pages, more understanding. Practice with professionals. Over and over again. And always have a backup with you. Better safe than sorry.
