TRUSTING A STRANGER: 11 ELEMENTS FOR MAKING CONNECTION AND BEING TRUSTED BY JURIES


Dates: April 23rd and 24th, 2010 (Friday and Saturday)

Time: 8:30a - 4:00p (both days)

Location: TBA (Seattle)


This is a 2 day seminar with individualized hands-on training and simulations using professional actors. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in their own simulations and work on one of their cases.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will walk away able to:
1. Create a fertile environment and solid foundation of relatedness and trust with juries.
2. Demonstrate grace, poise, and clarity during stressful interactions.
3. “Be present” during all interactions and demonstrate active listening skills.
4. Illuminate personal barriers to effectiveness in interactions with juries and stakeholders, and develop strategies to overcome the barriers.
5. Identify all key participants/stakeholders in the trial process, understand their values and needs, and address their interests effectively.
6. Evaluate the current state of the jury for real-time course correction during trials.
7. Productively evaluate and improve performance for future trials leading to better results.


LEARNING METHODOLOGY

The educational elements used in EffectiveArts' programs are based on interactive drama simulations tightly coupled to Socratic-style facilitated inquiry discussions and experiential activities. Very little lecture-style teaching is used. EffectiveArts' methodology is also deeply rooted in the tradition of experiential education, and also incorporates elements from research on adult education, stress training, and transformational education.
