Dig in. Step up. Do the work.

Last week I had you take a little quiz. Let’s review:
  • What is your status in the courtroom as a plaintiff attorney?
  • Do you have certainty about which method works best?
  • Do you get to decide how the jury decides or must you also give up your autonomy?
  • How many jurors do you have a relationship with?
  • And let's be honest, isn't the system unfair?
 
Your answers to these questions only served to highlight the fact that YOU are a hostage too, and, as we know, hostages can’t save other hostages. Only heroes can.
 
So how do you stop being a hostage and become the hero jurors need?
 
If you’re looking for a magic spell and a wave of a fairy wand, you’ve come to the wrong place. It doesn’t exist. There’s not a quick fix. It’s a path, a process, a transformation.
 
HOWEVER, there are immediate things you can do right now to start your path and see results as you cast a vision towards what will be.
 
First, you’ve got to show up for yourself! You’ve got to dig in and be ready to look inward, to evaluate, to name your limiting beliefs and learn to identify your most powerful self. I swear this isn’t some woo-woo bullshit. If you don’t show up for yourself and do the personal work, how can you ever expect that your jurors will show up for you? Dig in. Step up. Do the work. I’ll help you.
 
Second, as you’re shifting your mindset and are stepping into your power, you must also recognize how your role is ever changing and therefore requires adept, agile-like moves on your part. Your transformation is not private. It’s public. In the courtroom. You adapt to the demands and you follow the path: 
  • Introduce Safety 
  • Invite Engagement 
  • Inspire Commitment 
  • Incite Action 
 
It’s important work. It MUST be done, and you’re the one to do it.
 
In the weeks to come I’ll give you some tools to add to your belt and we’ll work on some of the necessary skills to help you as you transform from hostage to hero.
