Beyond the Brief: Speaking with Presence, Power, and Purpose with Paul Marchegiani

​Beyond the Brief: Speaking with Presence, Power, and Purpose

​You can draft a brilliant brief, but can you deliver a three-minute speech that truly moves hearts and minds? Most lawyers don't get consistent training on the physical skills to communicate persuasively: how to breathe through nerves, free the voice from cell-phone posture and desk tension, use language that connects rather than impresses, and show up with presence that builds credibility.

​This interactive workshop offers a practical overview of the fundamentals of breath, voice, delivery, and embodied presence, as well as a glimpse into the science of persuasion. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn techniques used by trial lawyers, winning politicians, and Shakespearean actors to meet any moment with authority and authenticity.

​Designed to be engaging, fun, and immediately useful, the session will help you translate preparation into performance, so you can communicate with clarity, confidence, and compelling presence.
