Whenever there is a product launching ceremony presented by Steve Jobs - CEO and co-founder of Apple Inc., masses of people attended the iPhone and Mac Air products earlier, they were not just mesmerized by these cutting-edge Apple products; they also liked the chairman's way of presenting his products. Many presenters are inspired by the simplicity of his slide display that have caused some of them switched to iWork - a slide creation software for Apple users.

For those non-Apple users, you do not have to be disappointed if you could not use iWork.

You can still stick to use Powerpoint to launch or promote your products effectively to your future clients.

It is possible if you follow these simple steps:

Use black or dark blue colored slide layout and white colored texts.

Your audiences will be able to see your text-contents clearly together with proper font size used in your slide. Ideal font used in your slide display is Arial. It must have to be shadowed so that it is viewable on the dark-colored slide background. In order to have gradient effect on the dark-colored background, use the "Fill Effects" feature and choose your desirable shading style. In this case, it is better to choose the "horizontal" shading style.

Put One-Title-In-One-Slide method.

You will see less text-contents in his slides as he mainly allows one title - which the font size is approximately 80-point size; in one slide. During the product launch, most of the elaboration based on these titles were not included along the slides. Some of the elaboration were simplified and located below the title text. In this case, size of these elaboration texts are preferable in 32-point size.

Add-in icons into your slides.

It has proven that adding icons into your slides able to increase easy viewing presentation for your audiences. Icons are like symbols and each of these symbols have their own distinctive meaning. If related icons are used, you do not have to over-emphasize much on your speech deliverance. People will be able to perceive the meaning quickly once they see your graphical slides. Normally, these icons are in PNG format. Use the "Set Transparent Color" tool to make the background of the icon transparent.

You can use either one icon/image or multiple images in one slide.

Put simple and organized list for your product features.

Allow your audiences know about your product features by putting it into a list. Simply use "text box" tool to include each and every product feature on your slide. For better enhancement, you can insert a picture along with the product feature list. This allows your audiences to experience the newly launched product for the very first time. If your audiences are able to experience the products easily, then selling the products to them will not be too difficult.

Based on this Apple's product launching ceremony, the stage set-up actually matches the dark-colored slide layout. The lights were focused on the presenter and the large screen on stage, so that the audiences' attention were directed to the stage. You must think of a way to measure your audiences' span in order to keep your audiences interested to your speech.

First of all, what is a bio sheet and why do you need one? A bio sheet is a one page description of who you are--your background and achievements. Your bio is an important part of how you present yourself to potential clients. You may include it in your media kit, in proposals to clients, and anywhere you want to establish your credibility and expert reputation.

Here's where the ego boost comes in: Start by writing down all of your accomplishments. These may include:

* Education

* Experience

* Credentials

* Professional affiliations and memberships

* Leadership positions

* Relevant volunteer work

* Media appearances

* What/where you've published

* Speeches and presentations to professional groups, etc.

* Important clients

* A (brief) client testimonial

* Awards

* Relevant family or leisure activities (e.g., travel)

Now, weave these elements into a narrative, being certain to focus on the interests of your audience. Remember, the question on their minds is always, "What's in this for ME?" Include information that shows how your clients benefit from what you do.

What if you don't have any awards, or you haven't published anything? Don't worry about it. Focus on the positives you have. Likewise, if you are changing fields and don't have a lot of experience in your new field, look for transferable accomplishments from previous work, or through your life experience.

Once you've got all this written down on a single page, even you will be impressed at how good you are! Use your bio sheet every chance you get. I send it out in media kits, include it in proposals to potential clients and sponsors, give it to program chairs when I book a speaking engagement, send it with article proposals, use it on the back of handouts at seminars and speeches, etc.

Remember to keep your bio currentafter all, it is a work in progress, to be continued!
