Steve Jobs has a near-mythical reputation in the presentation world as someone who has regularly wowed audiences over the years with his new product announcements at Macworld. But just how good a public speaker is he really? After watching his presentation, I then realise how these claims came about.
He is very straight to the point, does not beat about the bush but he is not blunt. He manages to convey his experience and emotions in a way that evokes the feeling of the listener. We are put in his shoes when he speaks of the time he was fired by Apple, how he felt so shattered but did not give up. This "aura" inspires people which i feel is really amazing.
He also uses literary devices such as imagery and repetition to emphasize his point about not giving up. Phrases like "Stay hungry" and "Dont settle for" are used to tell the listeners to make use of what time they had left and do something meaningful. Faced obstacles with determination and always better yourself.
Steve Jobs is an amazing and inspirational speaker. We can learn alot by just listening to him.
