Presenting Like Steve Jobs

Over the years I have been amazed at the style and showmanship of Steve Jobs. I always tune into the most recent MacWorld Keynote as soon as it is posted.

Have you ever thought "how does he do it"? Or have you ever presented and wondered how someone like Steve makes it look so easy?

Carmine Gallo breaks down Steve's presentation into 10 points over at Business Week.

I do a far amount of presenting myself so I am always in a study of the best. Maybe someday I can do as well too. Until then, I will keep watching....

Which Wolf Will Your Feed in 2008?

I thought this would be a good way to start out the new year and bring back this post:

A Great Lesson:


An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves.

One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride, and superiority.

The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too." The children thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one I feed."


Which one will you feed in 2008?
