Episode #51 - It's Time to Level Up

2/14/2020

 
So many of my clients have old communication rules they bring into my office.

Things like, "Never turn your back to the audience." Or, "Always make eye contact."

The problem is, communication rules don't serve you. Great communication is all about timing.

What are your communication rules? 

Give this podcast a listen to learn why you should think about leveling up.

Does body language really make a difference in trial?

Great communicators not only have a variety of ways of communicating, they know what skill to use when.

7/19/2019

 
You should always make eye contact, right? 

Wrong.

We attempt to continually make eye contact because of what we think it means.

But what if you were wrong about what eye contact communicates nonverbally?

Give the podcast a listen to find out what eye contact really means, and how you can be more systematic.

Episode #20 - Three Types of Listening

7/12/2019

 
Are you a good listener? In order to grow as a high performance trial attorney, you MUST be a good listener. 

Most people, when they think of “listening,” they only think of one kind. Would you be surprised to find out there are actually THREE types of listening?  

If you really want to get good at voir dire, you have to tune in to the other two types. 

Give the podcast a listen to dive into all three types.

Four Nonverbal Areas for Group Formation
Transcript:

Welcome to the "From Hostage to Hero" Podcast, my name is Sari de la Motte, aka: the Attorney Whisperer. I have to apologize to my listeners for such a break in the podcast; I’ve been working on my book, From Hostage to Hero, due out this year, but now I am back in the swing of things and looking forward to talking with you regularly!
 
To get us back on track, in the first four podcasts I introduced you to the concept of juror as hostage. We talked about the S-C-A-R-F model from David Rock, author of Your Brain at Work, and the five social needs that when threatened, can activate the survival instinct in the brain. And those things are: Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness and Fairness. 
 
To reverse the threat jury selection creates we’ve been looking at The Five ‘P’s:

  1. Preserve Status
  2. Provide Certainty
  3. Protect Autonomy
  4. Promote Relatedness
  5. Prove Fairness
 
We’ve been looking at the last three in the last podcasts – Status, Certainty, and Autonomy. Today let’s look at how to Promote Relatedness.
