From Hostage To Hero

If you’re primarily talking about money in voir dire, you’re essentially telling the jury that’s what your case is about.  And here’s the problem with that… Your case is N-E-V-E-R about money.   Someone has got to start changing this conversation because what you’re doing has zero to do with money, and everything to do with holding bad actors accountable. Today’s FHTH podcast is the recording of last month’s live episode. If you missed it, listen in to find out what I want you to stop doing at trial (unless you want to tank your case).  And if you were there for the live recording, here’s your chance to hear it again!

You know they think you’re a money-grabbing shark ambulance chaser that’s just there for the money, that your client is not really hurt, that you're all just in it for the big bucks. And yet your response to that is to come in and make all of your voir dire about who can give money and who likes lawsuits. You've just fucking proved their point.” * * * * 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.

I love y’all, but you sure take yourself too damn seriously sometimes. (*cough* most of the time) Yes, I know your work is heavy, and you deal with tough fucking shit on the daily. I am not making light of that.          But, I am strongly suggesting that you practice getting out of your head a LOT more often.  The best way to do that is to play more! Yes. Play.  Play is not only a fun thing to do, but it is integral for you to do as a human being, particularly a human being who is also a plaintiff attorney. Tune in to the new episode of the FHTH podcast to discover my “3 Ps of Play” and why play is so important! Enjoy!

If you’ve experienced the power of Designed Alliance in voir dire, wait ‘til you try it in your everyday life.  That’s right, my friend. Once you learn the incredible skill of “design,” don’t save it for jury selection! Use that shit everywhere and anywhere you want buy-in and/or a win-win outcome.

If you’re relying on willpower to make changes in your life, that’s probably why you’re not seeing results. That’s because human beings don’t have an unlimited amount of willpower, so we shouldn’t depend on it to motivate us when we’re trying to create lasting change.  Guess what? Rewards don’t work, either.  So. What should you do when you want to motivate yourself?  Tune in to today’s episode of the FHTH podcast for the answer! Enjoy!

Today, I’m clearing up a common misconception about mindset training.  See… I believe many of y’all have the idea that if you work on your mindset, you’ll never experience bad feelings again.

I can’t believe this is Episode 214 and that until now I haven’t done a podcast about trial dialogue.   How is this possible? I fucking LOVE trial dialogue!    So.

And it helps get jurors invested so they’re motivated to do the right thing.    I know that just piqued your interest, so get your notepad and a pen and tune in to the episode now!    Enjoy!   -Sari Mentioned in this episode:  Facebook Live on Trial Dialogue (March 19, 2021) https://www.facebook.com/sari.delamotte/videos/10226319192828813/?idorvanity=389203218530580   FHTH Podcast Episode #30: How To Use The Devil’s Advocate Question https://sariswears.com/30    Let The Jury Solve Your Problems In Three Easy Steps (Funnel Method Training) https://sariswears.com/training    3 Powerful Strategies To Help You Read A Juror’s Mind  https://sariswears.com/jury    H2H Fun-damentals™  https://sariswears.com/fun  Quote “All of our problems get solved in voir dire because it starts the whole chain of events.”  Sari de la Motte   * * * * 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.

Statistically speaking, plaintiff attorneys are more likely to lose.  It’s just a fact. (At least until H2H changes things, and I believe it will.) So… if you’re obsessed with winning, you’re in for a shit ton of disappointment because the odds are literally against you.  Sure, you want to win (who doesn’t?), but there’s a difference between wanting to win and having to win.  I go into more detail about this in today’s episode, and I promise you it’s one you do NOT want to miss.  -Sari Mentioned in this episode:  The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks https://a.co/d/ivvwyON    Quote Sari de la Motte "People say, ‘I’ve got to win so I can relax.’  No.  You’ve got to relax so you can win."   * * * * 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.
