Overview

Language is a powerful tool for lawyers. This course will equip you to understand the neuroscience impact of words and enhance your capacity to communicate, advocate and persuade.

Words have the power to shape our thoughts, emotions and even our physical responses. How we choose to use language directly impacts both ourselves and the people around us.  Being intentional in the way we communicate also has a profound impact on how effective we are in our roles - and how much we enjoy them.

In this course, we will take a deep dive into the neuroscience impact of language for lawyers. Explore how choosing your words more carefully can facilitate better outcomes for clients, less stressful interactions with colleagues, and improve your productivity and wellbeing. You will also learn strategies for putting this into practice in your daily work that can make a real impact.
