I’ve heard about this one for so long, but have never really sat down to look at it in more detail. It’s actually quite simple, so I’m not sure why I waited so long to do this.

When needing to present to an audience, instead of rambling on about what you did, lightning-talk fashion, it’s best to put some structure around it.

STAR is an acronym, pioneered (I think) mostly by Amazon for handling job interviews. But I feel like it’s helpful for any kind of technical presentation or interaction.
