Looking for team-building, new perspectives and fun? This interactive program borrows techniques from improvisational acting to demonstrate relevant parallels that will help lawyers create the right atmosphere for influence and persuasion.

Lessons from Aristotle

Law school teaches lawyers to construct a brilliant argument. But logic is only one-third of Aristotle’s persuasion formula. This program explores the other two-thirds (credibility and passion) and gives lawyers the insight necessary to achieve greater influence and negotiation success.
