Mastering The Art Of Expert Witness Testimony
“Bluntly stated, the strategies I present in Mastering the Art of Expert Witness Testimony will keep you from getting your ass kicked by opposing lawyers in court.” Brian Peter Brinig, expert witness and author
Mastering the Art of Expert Witness Testimony presents strategies and tactics for the expert witness in the courtroom as well as important practice management considerations supporting the forensic consultant. Competent expert witness testimony does not begin on the witness stand, it begins the minute the potential expert is contacted by a prospective client. From that moment forward, Professor Brinig enumerates important practice management techniques that underlie high-level expert witness testimony in depositions and trials.
Mastering Self-Discipline
Mastering Self-Discipline: A Thoughtful Approach Gets Better Results divides the skill of self-discipline into logical steps that can be implemented by committed individuals to create emotional freedom from the burden of inertia. If your goals are aligned with your core values, performing the necessary tasks to achieve them is no longer a chore, but a pleasing experience. When you are comfortably moving along your life vision path, you experience a deep emotional satisfaction that is simply incomparable.
Self-discipline is a life skill that can be readily learned when it is intelligently approached. It is more complicated−and easier−than merely forcing yourself to work harder. The exercise of self-discipline can be simplified by understanding it in the larger context of a personal achievement process consisting of a principled foundation, a plan of action and a plan of execution. Considered in this framework, the daily exercise of self-discipline results in successfully achieving goals and experiencing the freedom and happiness created by your accomplishments.
