Speaker: Dale Clark, The Speaking Formula
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:
• Struggle with speaking persuasively under pressure
• Find it difficult to translate complex legal concepts into clear, compelling messages
• 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
techniques to:
- 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!
