    About the workshop:  Regardless of your area of law—litigation, corporate, family, criminal, employment, or intellectual property—your success hinges on how well you articulate ideas, influence decisions, and build trust.

    Yet, many lawyers:

    • Experience stage fright or lack presence in formal settings

    • Lose engagement in written and verbal communication

    • Miss opportunities to connect with clients, juries, or colleagues on a deeper level


    This interactive workshop is designed to use practical demonstrations to show key public speaking

    • Command attention and respect
    •  Speak with confidence and authority 
    • Simplify complex legal jargon
    • Engage and influence clients, judges, and juries more effectively
    • Deliver presentations and arguments with clarity, conviction, and charisma

    Participants will learn about:

    • Body language, movement
    • Voice, pace, pause
    • Audience connection – speak to hearts and minds
    • Balancing credibility with likeability
    • Structure and organisation of ideas

    The workshop will include The Speaking Formula framework, a framework designed to show participants how to reach audiences and tailor their content to ensure their message lands effectively and in essence, raise the bar on presentation skills!
