As you can see, public speaking was something he had to actively train and work on. Public speaking is something most people need to train and work on. We can't all give presentations like Steve Jobs (and even he obsessively prepared for those).
- saraid216 14y agoWell, if it's a matter of public speaking, keep in mind that most of Jobs' presentations aren't interviews, either. Speeches and interviews are apples and oranges, despite both being facets of public speaking.
