One of the subjects that I felt was missing from law school was a good communications or speaking class. Everyone automatically assumes that lawyers have an innate talent for speaking, but this is often not the case. This book was well written, engaging and gave useful information. Overall, highly recommended. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Addressing the distinctive communication skills expected of attorneys--and based on three decades of experience coaching lawyers--this manual of practical, useful solutions integrates cutting-edge discoveries in human factors, linguistics, neuroscience, gesture studies, and sports psychology. These techniques will transform any attorney into a more confident speaker, whether addressing colleagues in a conference room, counseling clients in a boardroom, or presenting a CLE in a ballroom. Including tips on bringing the presentation off of one's notes and using direct eye contact, the book answers such common questions as: How do I channel nervous energy into dynamic delivery? What is a reliable way to remember what I want to say? How do I stop saying "um" and think in silence instead? and Why is gesturing so important? Topics are divided into chapters on the body, the brain, and the voice, with an extra section specifically dedicated to practice. No library descriptions found. |
