Description

Given the continued reality of remote court, work-from-home, and hybrid firms, online presentations have become a daily necessity for lawyers. However, if you approach a virtual presentation the same way you would an in-person talk, your chances of success may be limited. The good news is that a great online legal presentation is relatively easy to create and deliver if you understand the dynamics of remote audiences. Virtual Magic is a cutting-edge virtual program that gives you the tools you need to connect with and influence clients, juries, and colleagues when you can’t be there in person. 

Specifically, you will learn to:


•    Avoid the five common mistakes that most lawyers make when giving virtual presentations.
•    Incorporate proven strategies to keep your remote audiences engaged.
•    Be more compelling and persuasive in your virtual presentations.
