I was perusing the Slideshare and YouTube sites and ran across a couple of presentations worth watching.

The first is a Slideshare presentation by Garr Reynolds (Presentation Zen) called “Brain Rules for Presenters” (link below), which is a review of John Medina’s “Brain Rules” book.

So, then I looked up John Medina on YouTube and found a few videos where he talks about the ideas in his book.

Now this was very synchronistic because I had just started reading John Medina’s book, “Brain Rules”.  It’s been out awhile (2008) but I just heard of it a few weeks ago–you know how one thing leads to another, to another, etc.

In the book Medina shares some really amazing information about how the brain works. Several of the “Brain Rules” explain how people process information, which directly applies to how we, as presenters, deliver information to get the best learning results for our audience.

So, take a look at these resources.  Look for my next post where I’ll be sharing my own thoughts and takeaways from the book.

Here are the links:

What I learned From Steve Jobs About Presentations

Monday, October 10th, 2011

I never saw him in person—only on YouTube videos.  I learned about his style of presenting from books, interviews, videos.  He was a Master Presenter

Since I now make my living helping people create and deliver powerful presentations, I decided I would share with you the top 7 things I learned from Steve Jobs. 

Most of what I’ve learned came from a book called “The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs” by Carmine Gallo.  If you haven’t read it, and you’re interested in giving outstanding presentations, you must read this book!

Gallo writes on the first page of his book,

“Steve Jobs is the most captivating communicator on the world stage.  No one else comes close.  A Jobs presentation unleashes a rush of dopamine into the brains of his audience.” 

 How would you like someone to say that about you?  Wow!

So, here’s the Top Seven Things I Learned From Steve Jobs:  Read More→
