Our 7-session course is entitled, "Storytelling Skills: Reveal the Truth, Not Just Recount the Facts."

Following is the course description:

"How do you craft a set of facts into a story worth telling so the decision-maker will listen, care and act?  Skillful lawyers use storytelling techniques and principles. Storytelling is not just for kids; narrative is a compelling form of communication we use to relate, understand and persuade each other.  During this introduction to practical storytelling skills attendees will learn and practice proven tips and techniques designed to help identify, shape and deliver the compelling story you must bring to life to achieve the outcome you desire for your client.  Specifically, using case examples we will explore in theory and practice how to critically listen for and effectively communicate the client’s story using language with power, passion and precision useful for all aspects of client advocacy."
