Description

Highly recognised teacher of public speaking, Marsha Hunter delivered this seminar on high level advocacy skills in which she runs through what to do and what not to do when speaking publicly. She asks the fundamental question – how do you speak persuasively as you think on your feet? Marsha discusses three very clear elements to take into consideration – what is happening in your brain, what your body is doing and how your voice sounds. With each of these elements, she shares the aspects (and internal processes) that are your friend and work for you when you start to speak publicly. Marsha also offers the benefit of her experience about information recall and managing high levels of factual materials. This session was delivered as part of the Advocacy Stream of the Litigation Conference 2020.
