The designed alliance is one thing that really holds the From Hostage to Hero method apart from other trial methods or techniques.

People LOVE it, but also…struggle with it.

I think I know what's behind that struggle, and what it is might surprise you.

If you struggle with the designed alliance or want to learn more about it, give this podcast episode a listen.

Back in July, this quote by Rick Friedman got posted in the From Hostage to Hero FB group:

"Fear is unprofessional."

And even though I gave context for the quote in my podcast, and used Rick's analogy of why he said it, people.had.thoughts.

LOTS of thoughts.

I've been DYING to comment on this ever since, because here's the thing: Fear is TOTALLY normal. It's also TOTALLY optional.

And if that statement pisses you off, you most definitely need to listen to this podcast.

Well.

I promised to share my big learnings from my medical leave and this podcast is the first of many.

Here's the gist: For YEARS, maybe even my entire life, I've carried around this thing called "angst."

I've tried to get rid of it through therapy, through coaching, through self-help books and a myriad of other things, but it never left.

Until now.

If you too carry around your own angst, you won't want to miss this podcast episode.

Jurors cannot properly judge conduct without context.

This is why my opening statement template includes an "Educate the Jury" section, or what I call the "Teaching Section" for short.

In this podcast episode I'll walk you through how to create a kick ass teaching section and show you an example from a UIM case.

Enjoy!
