Description
One of the many challenges today’s lawyers face is communicating complex fact patterns and arguments to a variety of audiences. Stories are an excellent (and often overlooked) way to humanize facts and invite people to experience the emotional aspects of what you’re saying. This lively, upbeat program explores the benefits of using stories to frame issues, engage clients, judges, and juries, and inspire action. You’ll discover where to find good stories in your everyday life, how to craft them, and how to tell them. When done correctly, a good story cuts through the noise and increases the “re-tell” value of your message.
Specifically, you will discover how to:
- Transform boring sets of facts into interesting stories.
- Communicate your case in a more compelling way.
- Make complex information more accessible.
- Use stories to make your arguments more memorable.
