Many attorneys I encounter are fantastic researchers and writers, yet can have trouble concisely expressing their written work verbally. I teach basic Presentation Skills to attorneys, often focusing on:

• Use of language and jargon
• Relaying legal/ technical information to non-legal/ non-technical audiences
• Adding the human/emotional component to legal and technical communications
