Episode 20 - How we Open and how we Close - the critical role of atmospherics

Update: 2022-07-09

Description

We look at the importance of the prevailing atmospherics at both the case preparation and performance stages.

Examples are given of 'atmospherics'.

The use that you can make of such atmospherics as an advocacy tool is explained.

Opening statements and Closing addresses are discussed with 'atmospherics' in mind.
