Her Voice In Law
This book provides an in-depth training course for the female attorney who wants to have more vocal power, to build instant trust and rapport and have authentic command in all legal situations, including trial work. The authors go in-depth to provide a straightforward pathway for lasting changes.
David Ball, a nationally known jury consultant, and trial skills trainer, has this to say: "Her Voice in Law instantly joins my list of the top ten trial advocacy books."
He goes on to say: "In usable and concrete ways, it teaches and coaches you in the sine qua non of persuasion: finding and using your voice, which shapes how jurors interact with all else. And it’s learnable for everyone. But men: ignore the title. Most of your women colleagues will read this book and soon do better than you; Her Voice in Law is your chance to keep up."
Back in my theater days, I saw that the success of almost all actors was directly proportional to the quality of their vocal coaches. This is even truer for trial advocates, and Her Voice in Law is a top-level vocal coach. So A+ to and gratitude for it. We’ve waited too long. After all, the root of the word “advocate” is not “law” or “strategy” or “argument.” It’s “voice.”
NOTE: This book includes a FREE online training program worth $399.
