Today the world is mourning the loss of a genius and a unique mind. All over the internet you find tributes, and references... Thousands of people thanking him for improving our lives. On facebook people are changing their profile pictures, they are hanging pictures from him on their wall, sharing quotes and videos and on their status thanking him and mourning his loss.

I just came across this video: The Lost video of 1984 Machintosh introduction. The video was found in 2004 and released in 2005 for Machintosh's 21st birthday.

After seeing it, you realise he was the master of unveiling and presenting innovations to the world. Witty, smart, funny and simple. He went to the point and made it unbelievebly clear. We tend to want to say to many things (look at the thousand of slides shared in our everyday presentations)... but keeping it simple is an art. It is much more difficult than it looks. But the result is outstanding.

Steal this presentation!

My boss just shared with the team an awesome presentation that we should all have a look at - 'Steal this presentation' by jessedee at slideshare.net. If you work with Power Point all day long, I recommend you to have a look at it... I'm sure you'll find a lot of tips that will help you improve and make your presentations more impactful.

I seriously thought we were doing a pretty decent job. I was aware that our slides were not Steve Jobs material but believed we had gone one step forward by adding pictures and images to our text... I now see we were wrong. Although today they are more colorful and visual, they still need to be a lot more visual and impactful. We must put a lot of effort and need a lot of practice to achieve those levels, but I am positive it will be worth the try.

I know it will impact you as much as it has impacted me!
