Critique on Job's Speech

I agree with Alexis. Although he delivered a positive speech, Steve was very stiff and only moved to scratch his beard. I noticed it alot when I watched it, but I find it even funnier when someone else notices it too. More movement would have been better.

Steve Jobs Motivational Speech Answers

1. Steve used three vocal fillers only in the very beginning. It showed that he must have been a bit nervous, but overall it wasn't that big of a deal.
2.Mr. Job did use appropriate nonverbal communication. Although he was reading from paper, he still maintained some type of eye contact toward the audience. He didn't use any hand gestures, but kept good posture, not sloutching around and all.
3. I found this speech very motivational. Everyone has their own technique in getting someone else's attention, and his technique was personal experience. This is the same man that was adopted, dropped out of college, and was diagnost with cancer, who knew he have been able to accomplish so much. I liked the ending quote, "Stay hungry, stay foolish," because it is a way of saying no matter what obstacles you may overcome, keep pushing and you will get to your dreams.
4. I rate this speech a 9 because I enjoy listening to people talk about how it's possible to start something out of nothing.
