Say It

Wetin lawyer dey talk sef? If you are one of the learned that inspires comments as in 'what confusion are you spreading now' then read. Slowly. Communicating is really a big deal in legal. In general life, true and in legal especially. So the better you are at it the more success your law practice will be so a few ideas on it will help. Whether you call it having a command of language, being charismatic or being articulate: the ability to direct an audience like a conductor at the orchestra (think Bill Clinton ) has immense practical benefits.
Speech is a presentation of ideas so it is about expressing meaning, having an internal connection yourself with what you are thinking and want to say and presenting it in the most effective way you can. The key word here is, ideas. At the pith of your presentation what idea are you passing across. And since the effective presentation of your ideas is complex and difficult you have to be engaged in the preparation process so you put in a bit of your individuality which is what qualifies you and helps you kill it when you are speaking whether it is to one or to many. You will thus be authentic, moving and will connect to who you are talking with.
