CLE: Creating Human Impact Through Storytelling

Description

Presenting evidence accurately and thoroughly is your profession. But arranging that evidence as an engaging story is the art. Too many good lawyers lose because opposing counsel is a better “advocacy artist” than they are. Making a truly human connection with jurors, judges, colleagues, and clients will make a lasting impression, and that can only be done with effective storytelling. Opposing counsel may be relying on AI more frequently, but even though artificial intelligence tools may offer ways to frame an argument, AI can never fully replace a well-told story.

This webcast provides fresh ideas, techniques, and principles for turning your case facts into an engaging narrative that resonates intuitively as well as logically. In addition, you’ll gain tips on essential presentation skills such as vocal cadence and movement that add a visceral human quality to your case story. With the core rhetorical skills of grabbing and holding attention now at a premium in our modern culture, the classic storytelling skills revealed in this webcast are more important than ever.
