Telling Great Stories Inside and Out of the Courtroom

One of the many challenges attorneys face is communicating your arguments and recommendations effectively to juries, judges, and clients. Stories are an excellent (and often overlooked) way to humanize facts and invite people to experience and internalize what you’re trying to say. This lively, upbeat program explores the benefits of using stories to frame issues, engage audiences, and inspire action. You’ll discover where to find good stories in your everyday life, how to craft them, and where to tell them. When done correctly, a good story cuts through the noise and increases the impact and “re-tell” value of your message.

Flashes of Brilliance: Using PowerPoint and Visual Aids to Engage and Persuade

Today’s distracted audiences expect (and need) PowerPoint presentations to be visually stimulating and interesting. Endless slides of text-heavy, black-and-white bullet points simply won’t get the job done. Flashes of Brilliance is a dynamic new program that shows you how to create winning PowerPoint presentations regardless of your design abilities or background. You’ll discover the science behind effective slides and how to turn boring slides into visual stories that will enthrall the most jaded audiences. You'll even see real slides transformed from bad-to-great right before your eyes. Best of all, future audiences will thank you for it.
