What Visual Strategy In Depth: Liability is not

Visual Strategy In Depth: Liability is not a recap of my Visual Strategy Foundations course, and it’s not a course about prettier slides. It’s a comprehensive course, 4 hours in total, that takes the method from Foundations and applies it to liability in full: a roadmap for using it at mediation and trial, a 3-part workshop, worksheet toolkits, and exhibit templates. You’ll see how today’s high-tech presentation tools can get in the way of juror learning, and what to do instead. You won’t finish with a few ideas to consider. You’ll finish with content and real tools you can use on your case.

For the complete system, including how to present damages, consider my Complete Package, which includes all 3 of my courses.
