Week 5: Clear- Presentations

Welcome to Week 5 of my blog! This week we discussed presentations and how to enhance your presentations for the viewers. Almost everyone that has recently been in school, or worked in a managerial position has had to do a presentation, mostly with powerpoint. This program has become the go-to tool for creating presentations. If you think about the use of hand written displays, the level of professionalism cannot be matched when compared to a digital display. With the use of charts, photos, embedded videos, and other enhancements, presentations are a very valuable learning tool.

One person that gave presentations a new style was Steve Jobs. He would always appear in his blue jeans, and his black shirt. The way the Jobs spoke to his audience, everyone felt involved, and that they were almost friends.

This video from "BNETvideo" explains how Jobs captivated his audiences.

For most, presenting in front of a group of people is one of the hardest things to do. Statistically, people fear talking in front of a group more than death. For our Presidents, there is no room for this fear when it comes to their speeches. This photo is from President Obama's inauguration.

Thank you for reading!
