Got this from Presentation Zen, one of my favorite resources on presentation skills:

   Steve Jobs is indeed a worthy role model for high-impact audience-focussed presentation skills. I admire his techniques very much, and did a detailed speech critique of his Stanford Commencement address.

   Sacha, I think you are well on your way to present like Steve when you “grow up”. You’ve previously stated that you want to be a professional speaker, you’ve taken the plunge into Toastmasters to focus on speaking fundamentals, and you are taking professional steps which turn into rich speech content down the road. That’s a winning combination. You will speak like Steve someday.
