Trial Guides Releases Tell The Winning Story CLE Video Series “The 8 Fundamentals of Breakthrough Communication”
Filmed over the course of 3 days, this 8-part video series explores the 3 essential pillars of Storytelling that great stage actors and directors share. Check them out.
The Victory of Vulnerability
I’m fascinated with what captures an audience. Why do they ride it out with the storyteller no matter how horrifying the wounds of the story’s main character?
Our Healing
Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This is the epitome of the Warrior/Healer struggle at its pinnacle.
The Warrior as Healer, The Healer as Warrior
A strong storyteller must shine a light on the truth even if that truth is raw and ugly and shocking. The audience/jurors must feel the pain and suffering of the story without succumbing to it.
Fundamental #1: The Power of the Passionate Storyteller
Passion is a fundamental for breakthrough communication because if you’re not passionate about storytelling or becoming a great storyteller, then you’re stuck in Bland Land.
The Most Important Juror
When you enroll yourself as a juror in your case, you will see the roadmap to guide your fellow jurors to the same place as the Most Important Juror.
The Power of the Mask
In this video, I had so much fun playing with filmmaker Pat Smith in the studio putting together a new series of promotional videos for the mask work.
The Mask in the Courtroom
Working with the masks, you learn to shed the mask of constriction that has kept you from bringing forth your own true human spirit in court.
The Other Side of The Mask
One of the most powerful instances of breakthrough with a mask didn’t happen in a lawyers’ workshop. I have led workshops for inmates in prisons and jails. And in one of them, a man showed up whom I will never forget.
The Hidden Role
There's a hidden role within us all, and it is up to all of us to be able to find the real reason for why we would decide to pursue this hidden role, to make this hidden role front and center on this giant stage called life, and not just discover it and see it but live in this place. This reality of who we really are.
