Essential Presentation Skills for Attorneys
Public speaking is a core leadership skill. Attorneys are expected to be comfortable in a range of virtual, in-person, formal and informal situations. Whether you’re talking to a client or speaking in court, you want to deliver a clear, confident message. Mimi Bliss of Bliss Communications has updated her highly-rated CLE on presentation skills to cover a range of professional situations.
In this on demand workshop, you’ll learn how to sharpen your message to be more concise; engage your audience; master the virtual presentation, including technology tools, lighting and set-up; and use voice, gestures and eye contact to speak effectively. Attorneys who participated in last year’s workshop said the speaking tips were actionable and relevant to lawyers.
Here is a sneak preview of the workshop. Click for links to one-minute videos with speaking tips.
Feedback about last year’s Essential Presentation Skills for Attorneys included “Excellent course with many simple, practical tips that I can apply daily,” “Now I know what to work on to improve my skills,” and “Really useful tips for meetings and presentations.”
This program will be rebroadcasted in December.

Very good on how to do an effective presentation.
This presentation should be required for all lawyers.
i really enjoyed the presentation. the pause insight is priceless
This was a helpful course. The best part was learning to keep presentations "short and to the point" and to avoid "filler" given the short attention spans of folks here in the 2020s.
Extremely practical strategies!
I thought this was such a great CLE. I learned real, practical tips that I can implement immediately, even during Teams calls with other partners at my firm in other offices.
she is very good
Outstanding presentation. Everyone, including your older children, can benefit from this insightful information and speaking tips. Highly recommend watching periodically to truly absorb the speaking tips.
One of the best, most pertinent CLEs I have ever done, certainly THE BEST virtual CLE.
Some helpful tips, some can be useful if modified for a presentation in court or to a jury
Excellent
Helpful in getting a better understanding of being concise to keep audience focused on material I am presenting to them.
Provided interesting resources for learning more about communication skills
This presentation was very well done.
Mimi did a great job explaining what things I could be doing to improve my presentation. I will now put more thought into the camera angles on my Zoom presentations, and I will also start writing "PAUSE" in my pre-written speeches.
Excellent course! Extremely informative and tips that one can actually use.
Interesting and engaging speaker
Good, concise tips for presentations. Short, actionable suggestions. Excellent real world examples. Very timely.
