Presentation Skills for Advocates
Actress and coach Kristina Watt and senior litigator John Hollander present Presentation Techniques for Lawyers and Presentation Techniques for Professionals. To persuade, presenters must first communicate effectively. In this session, participants will learn the basic lessons of rhetoric and apply them to reach their target audience - whether clients in an office setting, attendants at a conference or decision-makers in the court/tribunal room.
