You want to make an impact? Tell stories!

Here you see Steve Job's Speech at Stanford, back in 2005.

He very simply starts with: "Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories."

One perfect example of presenting without Power Point. Although he's reading from a lectern,in a robe, the impact of his speech is tremendous because he makes it personal and includes the audience, us, into his life's story.

A great inspiration for "Naked Presentation", with an Orator in Toga...

He's naturally using the Rule of Three.

He's applying his own rule: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

I am OBSESSIVE about the rule of three, though my audience can't always figure out if it is the Holy Trinity or the Axis of Evil!
