ILYA LERMA TYPIC: FRAMING CASE THEMES BY ASKING RIGHT QUESTIONS TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Next-Level Witness Prep: The Art and Psychology of Persuasion
Frustrated that your key witness:
- Has terrible recall of important details?
- Can't emote?
- Is overly emotional about the wrong things?
- Gets defensive?
Traditional witness preparation relies on old, tired learning methods that rarely deliver in times of high stress. Mental pressure to meet expectations and "not mess things up" blocks witness retrieval patterns and can cause upset and defensiveness. Similarly, important emotional data can be deeply embedded and even the witness who has every intention of consciously cooperating is undermined by their own unconscious processes. Exceptional witness preparation is built by leveraging strategic tools that deal with both conscious and unconscious communication. After years of working with witnesses and harvesting stories, this is an opportunity to share some of the key insights and drills that have transformed even the most challenging witness into unbelievable storytellers.
In this seminar, we will explore:
- Unconscious and Conscious Process fundamentals
- Uncovering and Working with your client's unique learning style
- Communication tools for practice and confidence
- Tools for getting past emotional or psychological resistance
