Every time you speak, you are revealing critical information about yourself, both verbally and nonverbally. Your listeners - whether two clients at a conference table, 12 jurors in a courtroom, or 200 audience members in an auditorium - are judging you. Compelling research proves:
HOW you say it is even more important than
what you say.

“I was very impressed with how attentive and participatory our group was. They trusted Candace. Particularly impressive was that
they were willing, and even demanding, to hear her advice about how to respond to Supreme Court justices, given that she is not a
lawyer. That spoke volumes.”
Joy McLean, Director, Office of Disciplinary Counsel
Washington State Bar Association
“I’ve been fortunate to hear Candace present and to learn from her on three occasions. Although I was a “fan” after I attended her
first CLE, each time I’ve seen her present I’ve been “wowed” by her knowledge, the quality and ingenuity of her presentation, and
of course the great results that I’ve achieved by following her advice. I recommend Candace’s CLE’s to attorneys who want to
significantly improve their presentation skills.”
Robin Denison, Counsel
Moneytree, Inc.
“Candace BelAir packed a whole lot of useful, practical nuggets into the 3-hour presentation. I’ve learned tools that I plan to use right away.”
