Description
Masters of storytelling create narratives that engage an audience. Your mastery of this crucial skill will contribute to winning cases. Facts alone don’t always persuade a jury – it’s the entire narrative that does it: story arc, use of detail, rhetorical phrasing, creative structure, and powerful wording. This 60-minute course provides a solid overview of the essentials of storytelling craftsmanship that you can put into action immediately!
