Description
What if you could stand in front of an audience and deliver a presentation so powerful it captivated them from start to finish? You can if you understand body language, how people think, and what causes people to pay attention. This dynamic program combines the time-tested wisdom of the Greek philosophers with the latest insights from today’s leading storytellers: Madison Avenue and Hollywood.
Captivate also incorporates proven strategies to take your natural speaking style and use it to your advantage. When all of these factors are applied correctly, your lawyers will connect with audiences so that they listen more, retain more, and act more on your recommendations.
Specifically, you will be able to:
- Establish credibility and appear more dynamic.
- Make a powerful first impression and build on it throughout your talk.
- Leverage the #1 trust-building skill to connect with any audience.
- Add more life and energy to your delivery.
