Demeanor Management

In a world where effective communication is paramount, I specialize in fine-tuning the human element – ensuring your witness's presentation is as polished as your trial strategy. I utilize a specific approach, which emphasizes personal control and empowerment to enable witnesses to not only increase their skills but also their self-confidence. Some of my techniques involve using mild stressors (e.g.  a foul odor, heat from a mild pepper, mild embarrassment) to increase learning during witness preparation. I have a passion for this work and I am looking for any opportunity to demonstrate its effectiveness. Incorporating a formal witness preparation approach can help ensure that witnesses are mentally and emotionally prepared for the rigors of a trial or deposition. 
 

If given the opportunity, my approach will focus on the following goals: ​

1. Increase the witness’s ability to remain calm Under Pressure
2. Improve the witness’s focus and concentration
3. Increase the witness’s self-awareness
4. Improve the witness’s emotional regulation
5. Improve the clarity and consistency of the witness’s testimony
6. Improve the witness’s Communication Skills
7. Decrease the witness’s fears and anxiety about testifying
8. Increase the witness’s comfort with depositions and trial procedures​
9. Improve decision-making under stress
