"The class was a very good reminder of what makes people tick, how to more easily persuade them, and how to be a "likeable lawyer" for those of us for whom that is important."
Ned Menoyo,
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan



"This program discusses ethos, pathos and logos not only in building professional relationships generally, but also makes it relevant to each participant's individual situation. The webinar is interactive and entertaining which is sometimes rare for a program with a basis in ethics. Highly recommended."
Amanda Owens,
White & Allen

"An excellent course for understanding the "customer service" aspect of representing clients--it is not all about case citations, pure knowledge, or experience. It is about earning client trust first and foremost. Highly recommended. "
