Presentation Styles

It’s been a while since I wrote my blog, so this is a long overdue update
A good presentation is key in your career. In a few minutes your audience will be lost or begging for more.
So what’s the key to a good presentation? Its a combination of shock & awe, language, visuals and attitude skills which make up a good presentation style. The last thing you want is overdoing it on any one of the skills and not focusing on the other skills, each skill compliments each other.
Below is a youtube video of the person who gives the best presentations - Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs has stormed back to the top of his industry and envy of his competitors not only for creating groundbreaking and revolutionary products, but also for knowing how to launch them. His presentations are a mix of strong product knowledge and controlled excitement which keeps the audience on the edge of their seats and wanting more.
Bowling & Coldplay

I’ve never been bowling before, even though I drive past the Dubai Bowling Centre everyday from work. Friends were going bowling so I decided to try my luck.
I realized I was horrible, no aim at all and the bowling ball fell off the path 99% of the time. The one time the bowling ball stayed on the track I managed to hit a lot of pins, so hoping I’ll get better next time I play. If I don’t then I can start backwards bowling, watch the below video for a bowler who bowls backwards and is really good at it!
The better part of that week was going for the Coldplay concert in Emirates Palace! The tickets were majorly expensive (AED 800) but worth it, we were only 10 rows away from the stage and saw the band up close. Even when it started raining, we stayed there and listened till the concert ended. Was by far the best concert EVER in the UAE and cant wait for them to come back. I would put some videos up but I can’t find one decent quality video so will only put up pictures.
