Hi, I'm Val. I help modern lawyers make powerful presentations
to stand out as thought leaders
and grow their practices.
Regulatory lawyer turned presentation coach
As a former FDA, Biglaw, and in-house lawyer, I know just how to translate legal and regulatory needs to the language of business - and just how to break through to your most demanding clients and stakeholders.
With over 15+ years in practice, consulting, and training, I've heard - and delivered! - my share of boring, conventional presentations. We all know there's a better, more persuasive, and far more sustainable way to communicate.
I've studied and refined the art of creating legal presentations that engage every audience and do justice to each speaker's unique expertise.
And I can't wait to help you present your most powerful voice yet.
No one teaches lawyers to be persuasive speakers in the business world. So you do what you know: lead with legalese and commit #deathbypowerpoint.
The standard approach to presentations won't make you the trusted advisor you want to be.
I work with individuals and teams who are ready to do things differently. They're ready to elevate their distinctive voices and tell stories that stick—
and finally become go-to leaders in their fields.
Mastering Legal Presentations
for Business Audiences
Business leaders wear a million hats and answer to just as many stakeholders. To help them meet their goals while mitigating risk, presenting like a lawyer won't cut it. You need to go beyond.
When you lead with the law in a business setting, your audience tunes out. Your expertise remains a nice-to-have. But when you know how to integrate the business case into your legal presentations, your message finally lands. You earn the trust and credibility you deserve as a go-to advisor.
After this workshop, you’ll have a clear framework for merging legal complexities with business realities - and for breaking through to even the most harried executives.
Thought Leadership through Audience-Centered Presentations
Conferences, webinars, and trainings are essential for cultivating recognition and relationships in your space. But most lawyers waste each speaking opportunity by following the standard approach to presentations: endless bullet lists, lackluster visuals, and no actionable message.
The most sought-after legal counsel take a different route. They know that clients want solutions, not just information. They build their presentations around what their audiences want and need.
In this practical workshop, you’ll learn a simple, customizable framework for creating engaging presentations that connect with any audience and position you as a trusted thought leader.
