5. “Steve Job’s story ”
Year 1974
Steve Jobs and his friend,
Steve Wozniak would
attend meetings of the
Homebrew club, a
computer hobbyist club in
Silicon Valley. Together
they started sharing their
ideas and Apple was soon

6. Year 1984
Jobs gave a magnificent presentation when he
launched the first Mackintosh. But his style was
stiff compared to the Steve Jobs of today – he
stood behind a lectern and read from a script.

7. Year 1997
Jobs returned to Apple
after an 11-year
absence. He was more
polished and more
natural than in previous
years. He began to
create more visually
engaging slides.

8. For two full days before a presentation, Jobs will
practice the entire presentation, asking for
feedback from product managers in the room. For
48 hours, all of his energy is directed at making the
presentation the perfect embodiment of Apple‟s

9. Year 2007
Jobs took the stage at Macworld to introduce the iPhone. It was
without question his greatest presentation to date – from
start to finish. He hit a home run. But he was a vastly more
comfortable presenter than he was twenty years earlier. The
more he presents, the better he gets.
