🔑The PSTA Formula: Problem → Solution → Transformation → Ask
🔑Why most technical presentations fail at the "Ask" stage

Perfect for: Engineering managers, data analysts, technical directors, project managers, and any analytical professional who needs to influence stakeholders, secure resources, or motivate their teams.
