I'll be blunt—spewing words like "subsequent,” "prior," "motor vehicles,” or phrases like "Who here has experience with…,” “By a show of hands..." makes my head fucking hurt. You sound like a FREAK, and it's got to stop! WHO are you talking to? If you are wanting to connect with jurors, you've got to cut the bullshit lawyer-speak and remember how to talk like a normal person—like you're having coffee with a friend.  Here at H2H, I teach the coffee rule: be a human, not an attorney robot. You want the jury nodding, not scratching their heads. This encore episode is a rapid kick in the ass. Short, sweet, and straight up. -Sari   Mentioned in the episode: William N.   Quote: "Nobody drives 'vehicles.' If you're sitting at a coffee date looking at someone across from them and you're like, 'So, did you have to take your vehicle to get maintenance last week?' Slap yourself across the face because that is ridiculous. Nobody talks like that. Nobody. Jurors don't."   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

“Putting a lot of energy into an activity.”  ☝️That’s the actual meaning of hard work.  And I LOVE it.  According to that definition, I work very hard because I put a fuck ton of energy into what I do.  But y'all tend to be more familiar with a few other definitions of hard work, like… “difficult to bear” and “causing suffering.”  Hard work is NOT the only determinant of success, especially if you’re a woman or a person of color in the United States. Tune in to this very sweary episode of the FHTH podcast to learn more about my thoughts on the subject.  Enjoy!   Quote "When we're touting that hard work is all it takes to get ahead in life, in your career, or in trial, it's fucking bullshit. For at least half of the United States being women and then add in all the people of color on top of that, it just doesn't fucking work that way. And because you all keep believing that it does, it's not doing you or your sisters or people of color any favors."   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.
