Hi Carmine, I am reading your book “The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs” and I find it full of interesting and valuable methodologies. My presentations are already improving thanks to you! I would like to add you to my network.
Best, Fausto

Thank you

“Dear Mr. Gallo, thank you for writing Talk Like Ted and The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs. Last week I gave a talk at our international sales meeting in Germany. The presentation was an Application Story about how a customer is using one of our instruments in a new way. My presentation rocked! Stumbling on your books helped me tremendously during the six weeks I spent creating the PowerPoint. Many topics from each book were used to communicate the information, including the rule of three, the power sphere, message map, and the use of good visuals with fewer words. Afterward, the accolades I received from management and colleagues blew me away. I consider it a life-changing experience. The use of the techniques you write about raised my talk way above the level of average and boring.”

Great book. I liked it so much I bought it both as a book and audiobook. 🙂

Great book. I’ve read this a few times and now I just bought the audio book version too to load on my iPhone. For me, I like to revisit this content a few days before giving a big presentation. As I review my content, this book gives me new insights each time that help me punch up my information, making it more interesting and enjoyable for the audience. Great work, Carmine.

You will thank yourself

“Who hasn’t sat in a boring presentation. How often has the presenter had a slide filled with words and he/she read the whole slide to you? No more! You can give GREAT presentations that excite your audience and make you a hero. Yup, it takes work, but isn’t worth it? Embrace the principles contained in the Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs. You will thank yourself.

Took my presentation skills to the next level

I read “The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs” and it really took my presentation skills to the next level. My eyes always glaze over when I see Japanese presentations with massive amounts of text in small fonts. The laser pointer moving all over the slides doesn’t help either. Everyone always compliments me on my impeccable presentation skills,and it is thanks to this book that I was able to go to that level. Thank you very much for your great work! A fan in Japan.

How To WOW Your Audience

“This is one of the best How to… books on presentations. Recommended by a friend. I have nearly devoured its contents. This is a second purchase. How many books were good enough for you to WANT to replace it. That may just say it all. “Steve’s mind in your briefcase” now that’s a concept.”

Must Read For Business Professionals

“Steve Jobs was a master presenter and this book helps you understand his genius. If you are presenting at work then you need to read this book to get a better understand of how to convey your ideas effectively. It’s a must read for business professionals.”

Best business book I have ever read!

“The title would lead you to believe that this book is only about presentations. But the information in this book is immensely valuable for any business owner. I have never highlighted as many passages in my Kindle as I have with this book.

I have read tons of copywriting and marketing books and they all pale compared to the density of practical and usable knowledge featured in this book. If you are looking to improve your message, there is no better place to start than here.

This book helped me to realize that everything we do in business is a presentation, and the same rules apply to all mediums. Whether it be writing a blog post, shooting a video, or talking to a client, the information in this book applies.

I read this to prepare for an upcoming presentation and the structure and outlines in this book made it a breeze to put together. I knew I could skip over creating distracting, content heavy slides and keep it simple and clean. It looks great and saved me so much time.

Plus, the information on the importance of using plain english is something I will take with me for the rest of my life. We are trained in school to use complex academic sounding sentences because we think it makes us look smarter. Wrong!

Thanks Carmine Gallo, for making it so simple.”

Terrific Lessons In This Book

“Terrific Lessons in this Book; especially for professional speakers and those who want to be. The videos are effective and the writing style makes this a page turner. I am a successful professional speaker and will be even more successful with the lessons learned in this book.”

Awesome For Presentation Skills, But Incredible As A Leadership Book Too

“This is a really great book. It goes well beyond how to give a presentation. I think it ought to be required reading for anyone whose job includes getting other people to agree to your strategy and ideas. And doesn’t that mean anyone in business?”

Thank you for provoking new inspiration!

“I wanted to take a brief moment and applaud you for the great books you’ve provided. Initially, I read The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs and I was so inspired that I quickly moved to your other great work, The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs. In simple but elegant form, you’ve really developed a penchant for skillfully categorizing and organizing clear thought in your writing and presentation! Thank you so much for enhancing some critical learning but also provoking new inspiration!”

Thank You For Improving the World!

“I have read your 2 books on the Presentation and Innovation secrets of Steve Jobs. I have also watched on YouTube your speech at Stanford where you help people better sell their ideas the Steve Jobs’ way. Many concepts got clearer to me. Eg innovation, a mission statement vs. vision, why the ability to communicate is so important, etc. I just wanted to thank you for improving the World!”

My Guide To Presentations

“I read your book The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs when preparing for a little presentation at College. I found it by chance in the Manly Library, in Sydney, Australia and made a huge impact on me. It has become my guide to the presentations I am often invited to and I even prepared a Ted talk last year with it: http://www.marisol.com.au/Love_to_Talk.php. Thank you so much for your systematic approach to presenting and for sharing your knowledge and experience.”

— Marisol

I wish every presenter followed this guide

“Very clear and actionable. Not so much about Steve Jobs as it was about the steps to a great presentation. Mr. Jobs was a great example to follow throughout. Read a couple of chapters, then go watch Jobs on YouTube, and you’ll be on your way. This is a must read for…you.”

Must have if you’re going to communicate BETTER

“A great book to learn how to present – the writing is clear, it’s easily teachable to others and back when I was a local government consultant I’d pass on the tips learned here. Steve Jobs’ presentation secrets are things every communicator easily can learn and needs to learn.”

Jobs’ presentations never fail to thrill me

“I have been associated with Apple for eight years and have attended many of Steve Jobs’s presentations. This man is a masterful presenter who knows how to lead his audience from dissatisfaction or satisfaction to genuine excitement. The analysis provided by the author captures the essence and specifics of Jobs’s speaking brilliance.”
