trainingWe bring Principles, Best Practices of world class organizations, and a step-by-step Process to create narrative and support.

visualsInformation is better understood when the audience can see it as well as hear it. Just because we say something does not mean it is understood.

 

Visual support dramatically increases comprehension and retention, yet it is often underused in legal proceedings.

 

Some attorneys have already discovered that advantage accrues to those who know how to use visual material to engage, clarify, and make key points memorable. Others have not, simply because they have not been shown how to use it effectively.

 

But this is not workshop in PowerPoint or its gimmicks. Instead it is a set of practices and a process designed for professionals, based on research and more than nearly two decades of experience.

 

You'll learn:

  • Why use visuals, when (and when not) to use them
  • To display documents so key points are visible/retained
  • To find alternatives to wordy (ineffective) bulleted slides
  • To use slide/visual technology in ways that most do not
  • To avoid common mistakes and pitfalls
  • To enhance credibility and reflect the image of your firm
  • To assure that you points are clear and memorable

 

 

 

 

Stories are the most direct conduit to attention, engagement, and empathy. Every case has a story.

 

We help attorneys find the right theme and develop stories that resonate with judges, juries, and even the other side.

 

stories

This workshop provides tools to help attorneys identify the most engaging and connective concept, example, analogy, metaphor, or story, in order to fuel alignment and interest.

 

You’ll learn techniques used by descriptive and creative writers, and ways to convert your case and the law into compelling narrative.

 

Topics include:

  • The science of decision-making
  • The impact of story as conduit to emotion
  • Finding theme
  • The power of analogy and metaphor
  • The five parts of every good presentation
