Contrast is the fucking star of the show today ⭐

Picture this: we're painting a badass masterpiece.

Each stroke of contrast SHARPENS the narrative, adding depth and impact.

Think about how you can leverage contrast to ELEVATE your narrative to motivate the jury to take ACTION. 

Trust me, it's a game-changer. Tune into the episode now to dive in deeper.

• "But the point is that the contrast is clarifying. It isn't messy. When you have contrast, it strengthens your argument. There's black and there's white, that's why the DVAQ, the Devil's Advocate. Don't do it in your regular voice, it has to be a contrast. There's another place, it has to be a contrast between your regular voice and your, "Yeah, but can you just say you're sorry" voice. It has to be different."

Ok, she was also with her grandparents, but that didn't seem to satisfy my brain.

In other words, my brain had ALL sorts of scenarios it wanted me to think on, mostly having to do with her dying, being kidnapped or assaulted.

Let's talk about a courtroom taboo: crying.

IS IT -REALLY- OK TO CRY IN COURT?

Spoiler alert: Mama Sari is giving you the green light.

Because here's the thing: showing emotion isn't a sign of weakness — it's a sign of authenticity, passion, and unwavering dedication to your client.

So, next time you feel that lump in your throat, embrace that shit.

Tune in now.

Quote:

• "If emotions are contagious, my question to you is: why are you not using that opportunity to set the stage, and to set the tone of what happened? It's not facts that make people mad or sad or any of the other things. It's tone of voice, it's word choice, which is nonverbal. It's body language. We have to do these things so that the jury does feel an emotion, and that will then motivate them to act. Remember that your job is hard because you have to motivate the jury to do something when the easiest thing is to leave things as they are."

If you've been following me for a while, you know I teach the CTFAR "Self-Coaching" model*. 

Here's the model:

C = Circumstance

T = Thought

F = Feeling

A = Action

R = Result

The basic gist being that you can choose the way you think about your circumstances and those thoughts will create a feeling which will fuel your actions which will get you your results.

But what if we applied the model to our cases? I did just that in a recent Case Workshop and it blew everyone's mind so I got Coach Jody and H2H Crew Member Dave Maxfield on Zoom to talk about all the ways we can use the model as we prep for trial.

"Lawyers use the words 'subsequent' and 'prior' more than any other profession. I am convinced of this. Just say before and after. It isn't difficult."

Amen brother.

Y'all are talking like LAWYERS when you should be talking like JURORS in voir dire. The coffee rule can help.

Give this podcast a listen to learn what the coffee rule is and how to use it.

When I tell my clients their case is good, a look of horror comes over their face.

"What? Don't say that!"

Um. This is a problem. If saying "this case is good" makes you feel like I'll jinx it, something else is going on underneath the surface. And until you fix it, you're going to struggle at trial.

Find out what that is by giving this episode a listen.

Forget burning the midnight oil to catch up on "unfinished" research, case preps, and admin tasks—Parkinson's Law says your work expands to fill the time you give it. 

Hold on…

LET ME FINISH.

80% of your results come from 20% of your effort, and despite the popular opinion of many, it is OKAY to embrace B minus work (Yep, I said it and I'm not taking it back).

Because perfection is overrated and you are bending yourself backwards for it.

Sari

We've added a new coach to the SariDLM team: Coach Siria Gutierrez! In this podcast episode you'll learn about Siria, how she came to SariDLM, and how this former "anti-coach" became a mindset coach herself!

We'll also talk about how Siria wanted to "break up" with the law, and how many of you may feel the same. You'll hear where that journey took her, and how one big mindset change in her thinking made all the difference, and how it can also make a difference for you.

In this Bonus Episode, we talk about why "time management" is impossible.

Look, it's the start of a new year.. The time of crime and punishment. You know, we did the crime (over eat, over drink, over slept) in December, so now it's time for punishment. Strict diets, sober January, crazy-ass schedules to get us "back on track."

I call bull***t.

Time to do something different. I offer you a  new approach to everything, but especially time management.

There are two things I consistently say in my podcast and in the crew:

We are changing the way law is practiced,

And...

We are loving ourselves to better lives.

There are reasons I say the above, reasons you need to hear. I call it the H2H Creed.

Exactly one year ago today I received my breast cancer diagnosis. A few months later I'd also learn I had thyroid cancer, and then need foot surgery and end the year with gall bladder removal.

I'm running out of organs, y'all.

But when I think about 2021 my overwhelming emotion is one of gratitude. 2021 was the best fucking year of my entire life.

Really.

I always hear this from attorneys in and out of H2H –

"I learned more from my failures than my successes." 

Well, throw that bullshit out the window because this week's episode is all about debunking the myth that failure is the ultimate teacher.

Tune in to find out how to break the cycle of fixating on mistakes (because let's face it, that only leads to one thing: giving up 😤) and instead, champion a mindset fueled by success.

Xo,

Sari

• "We learn more from success than failure. Success is more motivating than failure. Success will have you work harder than failure. This is backwards from everything y'all believe. You believe it has to be hard. You believe you have to be hard on yourself. You believe that you can't decide you're amazing before you actually achieve something great. The research backs me up here. It's success that we want to emulate; it is success that we want to focus on."

Recently I asked the free From Hostage to Hero FB group: "What is the scariest part of trial for you, and why?"

One attorney answered, "When the judge starts reading the verdict. It's the finality of all the hard work, late nights, stress, etc. and you know within seconds there will be a winner and a loser."

A verdict is significant, but it DOES NOT decide who the "winner" is.

Listen to this episode to learn why not, and what the verdict actually means in your case.
