Description
How would you like to snap your fingers and instantly judges, jurors, and clients would agree with your position? It may not be that easy, however you can dramatically improve your chances for success if you understand how people make decisions and what causes them to act. This dynamic CLE program draws on the latest scientific research to illustrate how you can ethically influence clients, colleagues, and members of the court to see things your way—all without resorting to manipulation. Best of all, you'll leave this session with practical ideas you can apply right away.
Specifically, you will be able to:
- Discover the two elements you must have to win over any skeptical mind.
- Utilize the four key drivers of persuasion to gain acceptance of your arguments and ideas.
- Examine what the Code of Professional Responsibility has to say about how to remain above reproach when seeking to influence others.
- Overcome the common mistakes most lawyers make when trying to change people’s minds.
- Leave much of the conventional wisdom about influence behind (most of it doesn’t work anyway).
