iTunes 6, with the news that ABC would make television shows
available for iTunes and the new video iPod. Jobs even intro-
duced jazz legend Wynton Marsalis as an encore.
In keeping with Jobs’s metaphor of a presentation as a classic
story, The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs is divided into three
acts:
Act 1: Create the Story. The seven chapters—or scenes—in
this section will give you practical tools to craft an exciting
story behind your brand. A strong story will give you the confi-
dence and ability to win over your audience.
Act 2: Deliver the Experience. In these six scenes, you will
learn practical tips to turn your presentations into visually
appealing and “must-have” experiences.
Act 3: Refine and Rehearse. The remaining five scenes will
tackle topics such as body language, verbal delivery, and mak-
ing “scripted” presentations sound natural and conversational.
Even your choice of wardrobe will be addressed. You will learn
why mock turtlenecks, jeans, and running shoes are suitable
for Jobs but could mean the end of your career.
