Developing and delivering presentations is typically challenging for technical professionals-i.e., engineers, data scientists, etc.-because they struggle with what to say about their work (the story) and how to say it (the telling). If they can't communicate their work in a relatable way, their work loses recognition and they miss out on top projects while hitting a career plateau.
In Luminary: Master the Art and Science of Storytelling, certified executive coach and CEO of an award-winning leadership development firm, Jack Griffin, solves these pain points by guiding technical professionals on how to create and deliver effective presentations in all settings, from virtual team meetings to in-person industry conferences.
This conversational, easy-to-follow book uses real-life use cases from Jack's top clients (Amazon, Meta, Genentech, etc) to provide an all-inclusive guide to improve skills, increase impact, and ditch the frustration of solving the same old problems.

• A proven storytelling framework for developing technical presentations • Templates and formulas for content creation (from architecture overviews to data deep dives) • Practical tips for delivery skills to improve public speaking confidence • Real use cases about technical professionals building and communicating their solutions • Techniques for improving conversation skills both professionally and personally
