Villains (adverse witnesses) never see themselves as villains.
How do they see themselves?
How do they want the world to judge them?
As Victors. Let them.
In this two day workshop, you will be introduced to a counterintuitive and game-changing approach that will help you deliver the most powerful Cross Examination of your adverse witness, when you know, own, trust, your personal connection to the Villain’s Victor Story.
Together, Jesse Wilson and Jacqui Ford will introduce you to cutting edge techniques (such as The 4 Steps of The Stage and The Crossroad) from Wilson’s book “Witness Preparation: How To Tell The Winning Story.”
Through their guidance, you will be able to make a more powerful connection to your client’s victor story (and casting them in their right role as victors not victims); determine the true villain of the story (and freeing yourself of judgment, the single greatest roadblock to telling the villain’s victor story); then tie it all together and apply this winning strategy to helping you frame your entire case to your judge and jurors… and motivating them to act.
Jesse and Jacqui will help you:
Applying this winning strategy will help you frame your entire case and empower your judge and jurors, motivating them to protect your client.
