info_outlineToday, we will be talking about “Making the Case,” so that you can learn to ask for what you want. Living a life that is true to yourself so that you will not have regrets is something that can be done through advocating. Becoming a strong advocate and using the tools that I used in the courtroom such as questions, credibility, evidence, perspective taking, arguments, words, body language, and creativity to name a few is how you can begin to build your case.
Building the evidence for yourself is something that I have my private coaching clients do daily. I will go over how I help them find their evidence and what to do with that evidence to build a case for themselves.
