Description

Advanced Storytelling and Persuasive Skills for Lawyers

by David Mann

 

The best lawyers agree:  without skilled delivery, the soundest arguments fail.  In this entertaining and compelling program, David Mann focuses on the goal of persuading juries and engaging witnesses by presenting complex material with the ease of a conversation.  Examine the essentials of storytelling, using past masters as examples and learn how to use vocal inflection and body language to tell the story between the words.  With concepts drawn from his successful career in performance and public speaking, Mann will provide you with tools for powerful engaging presentations, incorporating role-play of opening statements and direct/cross examination.  He will also expose you to sound methods for more complete depositions, stronger closing arguments, and more illuminating client interviews.
