In this program:
- You’ll learn how to prepare, practice and deliver your talk – whether you’re in a courtroom, conference room, or large auditorium.
- You have something important to say. You’ll learn how: to say it in an interesting way; to find and effectively use relevant quotations and anecdotes (not jokes); make eye contact; and gesture like a pro.
- By learning and following time-honored techniques, you’ll not fear speaking to groups of any size. And most important, persuasive public speaking enables lawyers to “make a difference.”
- And you’ll relish being known as “a tough act to follow.”
