brevity has a lot of value. For juries, I never make more than 5 points in all (and try very hard to keep it to three.) Usually I can keep it to three points even if there's a ton of stuff they "have" to think about...organize it for them into 3 "main" points, and bring it to the logical conclusion (which is that my guy is right, and the opponent is wrong...so obvious!!)
Economy of words. Men definitely prefer it and I do think they tune out easily. Also there is value in silence. last year I got a job offer and when it came to money I listened to the first number and said nothing. The guy went on some more and then, I swear, lifted the number by 20k annually and threw in a bonus...WTH? Just for listening and waiting which was partly a negotiation tactic on my end and partly b/c I wasn't sure how to respond yet. Believe it or not, I do keep it short in the court room. Too bad we don't get paid for writing here, by the word!
Hope you are having a good day. Just don't let HIS interpretation get into your little internal world. As long as you master that, as you are starting to, you really will be alright. I can just tell. (That's convincing, isn't it?) HUGS!! (( J ))
