Dear BPharm+MBA Pharmatech students of all batches and MPharm+MBA students of Pharmatech and Healthcare Management First year,

 

Some months back, motivated by our Dean, I had forwarded all of you through your CRs, one of the most powerful and effective speeches of all times viz. Steve Jobs delivering the commencement address at Stanford in 2005. I am sure all of you by now must have seen and heard the video many times over and also read the transcript so easily googleable.

 

After Steve Jobs passed away recently, there is a heightened interest in his life's story and the latest authorised biography of Steve Jobs to hit the stands is "Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson". Try and get hold of a copy of the book and read it. By ordering it on www,flipkart.com, you can save 30% there by getting the book for Rs 559 instead of Rs 799, a cool savings of Rs 240. And what is more, on flipkart most books are on discount and they do not insist on credit cards. You can buy on "Cash on Delivery".

 

Remember, I had also urged you to become a member of this excellent free blog Six Minutes: A Public Speaking and Presentation Skills blog . If you have not yet become a member, it is never too late. Here is the latest edition I am forwarding to you; you will love it! Please read it at leisure. You will find every embedded link in this issue a nugget. Click on the links. Savour it! Read it!

Six Minutes: "Steve Jobs: Greatest Presenter of Our Generation"

Steve Jobs: Greatest Presenter of Our Generation Posted: 06 Nov 2011 08:22 PM PST Six Minutes began 4 years ago. The 10th article on this blog was a speech critique of Steve Jobs delivering the commencement address at Stanford in 2005. To this day, it’s one of my favorite articles, because Steve Jobs was one of my favorite speakers and that address was one of my favorite speeches. After publishing the critique, I was often asked whether Steve wrote the address, or whether he had a speechwriter. A common belief at the time was that the speech was so good that it had to be written by a professional speechwriter. So, I emailed him to ask if he was the writer. To my delight, he responded, just 90 minutes later: Andrew, I wrote it myself. I am responsible for all of its shortcomings. Steve On top of crafting such a wonderful speech, he was modest as well. Steve Jobs was the embodiment of all that speakers should strive to be: His preparation was second to none He told stories passionately He entertained while educating His timing and delivery heightened his impact He was a master of speaking fundamentals We can all learn much from his speaking example. I encourage you to read these articles: Speech Critique: Steve Jobs (Stanford, 2005) You Can Learn to Present Like Steve Jobs In the Words of Public Speaking Bloggers Since his death a month ago, a tidal wave of tributes to Steve Jobs have sploshed around the Internet. He is praised for his vision. He is praised for his entrepreneurial spirit. He is praised for his presentation skills. Here’s what some of my fellow public speaking bloggers have written about Steve: Bert Decker — Steve Jobs the Communicator Above all, he communicated his brilliant concepts to millions of people, brilliantly. Nancy Duarte — Steve Jobs: The Great Presenter So, if Ronald Reagan is The Great Communicator and Richard Feynman is The Great Explainer, might Mr. Jobs be The Great Presenter? Garr Reynolds — Steve Jobs (1955-2011) He even raised the bar for presentations. He was a true master. He was a true sensei. Rick Altman — Steve Jobs’ Untapped Potential He is arguably the greatest public speaker of his generation… Kathy Reiffenstein — Remembering the Presentation Brilliance of Steve Jobs Jobs’ ability to captivate an audience, the elegance of his “one big idea”, his passion, his focus on the visual and his rehearsal ethic are all worthy of imitation. Jan Schultink — Who is Steve? Seeing his keynote addresses a few yeas ago made me realize that the world could be a better place if I could help people present just a little bit more like Steve. Scott Schwertly — Steve Jobs: Legacy of a Presenter Jobs was a super speaker whose storytelling style created emotional experiences for his audiences and his example is one we should all borrow from. Terry Gault — In Memory of Steve Jobs Steve Jobs was often held up in our workshops as [an] exemplary presenter.  John Watkis — Steve Jobs: His Words & Works Live On His work will live on forever. So will his words. Matt Eventoff — Steve Jobs: Public Speaking, Preparation & Practice What made Steve Jobs an effective communicator was not innovation or new technology. His public speaking skills had everything to do with fundamentals – an example being one that is crucial yet often ignored – extensive preparation. Mike Consol — In Memoriam: Steve Jobs, 1955-2011 … he was the greatest presenter in business history.   Similar Articles You May Like...
