    Ep. 269 - H2H Witness Prep with Coach Jody and Coach Marlo

    I’ve got two INCREDIBLE voices joining me: Coach Jody (a.k.a Jody F’ing Moore 😄) and our newest chief collaborator, Coach Marlo Arnold!  Together, we’re tackling a topic so many attorneys struggle with: prepping expert witnesses for trial.  Some key points we hit: 🔑 Finding the Balance: Jody and Marlo dig into what happens when we underprepare OR overprepare our experts — and why a middle ground is where the magic happens. 🔑 Forget the Script: We’re all about genuine conversations. Scripting your expert to the point they sound robotic? It’s not helping anyone. 🔑 Mindset Matters: We break down why mindset is key, and how SCARF principles can help experts keep calm, stay confident, and connect with the jury. Whether you’re preparing for a major trial or just want to brush up on best practices, this episode’s got you covered. Xo, Sari   Quote:  "Your expert isn’t there to be a robot on the stand. They need to be human, for fuck’s sake—calm, connected, and ready to throw down if they have to. That’s how you get the jury to actually trust them."  — Coach Jody * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

    Ep. 268 - Beware of the Negative Teaching Section

    Let’s get one thing straight: if your opening statement is just a list of “what shouldn’t have happened”, then you’re setting yourself up for FAILURE. In this week’s episode, we’re breaking down HOW to captivate the jury’s attention from the start and teach them the right way to look at the facts — starting with the teaching section in your opening statement. Here’s what you’ll learn: ⚖️ Why the “what not to do” approach doesn’t work and what to do instead. ⚖️ The strategy that makes the defense’s case look like an intentional mess. ⚖️ The secret to guiding jurors to see the defense’s actions for what they are — choices, not accidents. Ready to own the courtroom from the very first word? Ya know what to do. 😉 Xo, Sari   Quote:  "When we tell the jury, ‘Here are the things to do,’ we can frame the defense’s actions as choices. They chose not to do this right, they chose to cut corners. But when we say, ‘Here are things to avoid,’ it feels like we’re suggesting the outcome was guaranteed unless they avoided these things. Showing the right way makes the defendant’s actions stand out even more." — Sari de la Motte   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

    How to Design With Your Judge

    We create a designed alliance with our jurors—why wouldn’t we do the same with our judge?!  In this episode, we’re diving into the art of building BENCH rapport. ⚖️ Because the last thing you need is your judge side-eyeing you and throwing objections your way just because your approach is unfamiliar.  We need to approach them with a transparent and deferential strategy that makes them feel prioritized in their courtroom. Tune in to learn how to make your judge your strongest ally! 💪   Xo, Sari   Mentions:  sariswears.com Christy Crowe Childers co-active coaching Malorie Peacock collaboration podcast  Michael Cowen Quote:  "Judges are expected to know everything — talk about imposter syndrome. We often see them as these assholes that just do all this shit to try to fuck with us, but I believe that in most cases, judges experience imposter syndrome even more than anyone else. When they encounter something unfamiliar, it can really throw them off."   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

    Ep. 264 - Can a Resonant Conversation in Voir Dire Be TOO Resonant?

    Resonant conversations with jurors — those moments where you connect deeply on an emotional level — can be a game changer.  BUT. Is there such a thing as too much connection? Here’s what we’re diving into: 🗣️ WHY creating resonance with jurors isn’t just about getting them to listen — it’s about making them care and act. 🗣️ The BIG mistake many trial attorneys make when trying to create resonance, and how it might be costing you your strongest jurors. 🗣️ The RIGHT balance between logic and emotion that gives you an edge in trial — and where most attorneys go wrong. 🗣️ WHY the traditional “Can you be fair?” question might be the LEAST effective way to approach voir dire. This episode is packed with actionable takeaways for your next trial.  Don’t miss this, tune in now! Xo, Sari ➡️ FREE FB GROUP FOR PLAINTIFF & CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS   Quote:  "Your job in voir dire isn’t to get them to like you—it’s to help them feel safe enough to tell the truth. When jurors feel seen and safe, they’re more willing to lean your way, even before you present a single piece of evidence."   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

    Ep. 263 - Resonant Conversations with Master Coach Amy Day

    You’re in the middle of voir dire, talking, they’re nodding, but those blank faces tell you everything — you know they’re not really hearing you. In this week's episode, we’re tackling exactly how to change that. We’ve got Amy Day, executive coach who knows a thing or two about getting through tough crowds. We’ll show you how to use coaching techniques like powerful questions, active listening, and trusting your intuition to engage with jurors like never before. Because what jurors really want is the raw, unpolished truth, NOT a performance. So stop shying away from those unscripted moments and start owning the room. TUNE IN NOW! Xo, Sari   Quote:  “So many conversations we have are surface-level and not full of authenticity. People are constantly giving us information about themselves, but we don’t clue in, we don’t listen, and then we don’t make something of it. Resonant conversations are about getting to the deeper level of who someone is and what’s important to them. When we have those conversations, we can resolve conflict quicker, create connections, and actually bring abundance because people are looking to be seen.” — Amy Day   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR’S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

    Ep. 262 - Want to Win at Trial? The Key is Collaboration

    I’m SO EXCITED about this week’s podcast because THE mothafuggin’ Jody Moore joined me, and if you’ve heard Jody speak, you already KNOW you’re in for something special.  Jody is a veteran trial attorney with 20+ years in elder abuse and nursing home litigation, and she’s one of our H2H Method™ coaches.  In this episode, we dive into some of the BIGGEST challenges trial attorneys face and HOW to approach them differently. These aren’t JUST theories — Jody's methods have helped her team secure an 8-FIGURE VERDICT in a 4-month Zoom trial.  Yeah, THAT’S the level she’s playing at, and she’s sharing exactly how she does it. If you’re serious about not just surviving, but thriving in the courtroom, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Xo, Sari   Quote:  "As trial attorneys, we often face immense pressure, but it's crucial to remember that we can choose how we show up in those moments. By shifting our mindset and embracing resilience, we can transform challenges into opportunities for growth and success. This isn't just about winning cases; it's about becoming better advocates for our clients and ourselves." - Jody Moore Can't get enough of me?
