Description
This course combines the principles of persuasive storytelling with engaging delivery skills to illustrate how powerful an opening or closing statement can be. Examples are drawn from real attorneys, Hollywood movie lawyers, and politicians to show how persuasive statements can be strengthened or weakened through story structure and delivery. This 60-minute course provides a solid overview of what a great opening or closing looks like … and what can happen when it goes wrong.
