I think the Steve Jobs presentations are great, but it's hard to really apply learnings from them because he had such a cult of personality along with the Apple brand itself. If you're just presenting some analysis results to a director and a few people, yes, Steve-Jobbs-ing the presentation is going to look like cargo-culting even if you manage to pull it off technically. For those of us that do pedestrian presentations (ones that DON'T need a "producer"), I think its helpful to watch and analyze presentations from peers who are well-practiced, as well as watching those who flopped. I like to watch AWS re:Invent and the chaos computer camp presentations because there are a lot of them, with wildly varying levels of presentation skills. It's easy to see what works and what doesn't work and that's helpful.
