Free online videos: coaching lawyers in the online communications arts

Lawyers and legal professionals are turning to a communications coach for advice on online presentation

Sylvia Cohen, who specialises in voice, body and language training for celebrities and media professionals, is now coaching lawyers on the art of effective online communication.

With meetings, interviews, negotiations, court proceedings and dispute resolution all happening via video or telephone conferencing now, lawyers have had to adjust to a new work environment.

Cohen has made three online training videos, to show how small changes can make a big difference to online communications.

The videos, available for free, cover:

  • setting up your call for maximum impact;
  • speaking with confidence and presence; and
  • how to use your voice to create rapport and benevolent outcomes.
