Communication and negotiation are fundamental components of legal and accounting practices. The sharpest brief, the tightest contract, and the most articulate memo are insufficient to achieve success in face-to-face communication, whether arguing in the courtroom, pitching a client or facing an opponent. The difference is made in the delivery: in judging your credibility, people base 38% of their evaluation on the tonality of your voice… but only 7% on the words themselves. In this program, you will learn to use your voice strategically in order to capture and keep your audience’s attention and deliver your message clearly, authoritatively, authentically, and persuasively in any context.

Dr. Sicola is a faculty member at the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA, where she lectures on second-language acquisition theory and pedagogy and oversees the fieldwork component of the MA-TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program. She has been an English/ESL/EFL teacher and curriculum designer for the University of Pennsylvania, for the Nagoya City Board of Education in Nagoya, Japan, and for the Los Angeles Unified School District at a bilingual elementary school in south-central L.A.

Learning Objectives:

- Review research on the cognitive and emotional effects of the voice on the listener

- Analyze techniques for earning the respect of your audience

- Discuss vocal techniques for use in courtrooms, client meetings and negotiations; matching body language and voice to reinforce, convince and compel
