Sari Swears Podcast: All Great Openings Have This in Common

from Sari Swears · host Sari de la Motte

Here's what I see all the time in trial openings: 😴 Same tone 😴 Same pace 😴 Same energy  The WHOLE way through…  And THAT'S the problem. In trial, you're always doing one of three things: 👉🏽 Teaching 👉🏽 Storytelling 👉🏽 Dealing with resistance Each one needs a different energy. Teaching should FEEL electric. Storytelling should FEEL like a movie. Dealing with resistance requires calm & confident leadership.  When all three sound the same, jurors don't feel anything. Great openings manage energy on purpose. They let jurors learn, feel, and engage — moment by moment. Tune in NOW! 🎧 Love, Sari    Quote:  "Most openings are boring and unmemorable because the energy never changes. It's the same energy the entire time — and that's mindless and boring for jurors. Great openings work because they manage energy from section to section, letting jurors learn something, feel something, and stay engaged." Sari de la Motte Can't get enough of me?
