Smart lawyers make their presentations more personal by contacting select attendees beforehand, tailoring their messaging, and treating the room like a series of conversations rather than a stage show. This relationship-first approach makes your talk more memorable, more effective, and more likely to generate business.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.attorneyatwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Fretzin-Sarah-Victory-Gary-Johnson.jpg?resize=770%2C495&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Law Practice Growth, Sarah Victory Gary Johnson\" class=\"wp-image-100047881\" title=\"\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"exemag-video-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"exemag-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xcFDEhiuM4o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bravery-over-comfort-how-to-level-up-as-a-leader\"><strong>Bravery Over Comfort: How to Level Up as a Leader<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Leadership in the legal world demands more than knowledge\u2014it requires guts. Sarah Victory\u2019s advice is clear: stop wishing the work was easier and instead focus on becoming better and bolder. The most successful lawyers aren\u2019t the ones who dodge discomfort, but the ones who face it and grow stronger from it. Whether it\u2019s hiring, scaling, or delegating, bravery must become a daily habit if you want your practice to evolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saying \u201cI\u2019m an attorney\u201d might sound professional, but it rarely sparks interest. In business development for attorneys and networking, the way you position yourself matters for your attorney personal branding. Rather than stating a title, describe the outcome you help clients achieve, effectively crafting your law firm value proposition. Focus on the problems you solve and the transformations you create. This change not only makes conversations more engaging but also differentiates you in a crowded market.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"exemag-video-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"exemag-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ii7DzI3nyr4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ditch-the-attorney-title-and-sell-the-value-instead\"><strong>Ditch the \u201cAttorney\u201d Title and Sell the Value Instead<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Saying \u201cI\u2019m an attorney\u201d might sound professional, but it rarely sparks interest.

Whether you\u2019re on a big stage or leading a breakout session, the goal isn\u2019t to impress the roomit\u2019s to build trust before, during, and after your talk. Sarah Victory urges lawyers to connect with attendees ahead of time, follow up afterward, and use the platform as a bridge to real relationships, emphasizing the importance of making presentations personal. When done right, speaking is not just a visibility play, it\u2019s a business builder.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sarahvictory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Connect with Sarah Victory on LinkedIn<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43mlduo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"342\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.attorneyatwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/be-that-lawyer-steve-fretzin-101-top-rainmakers-secrets.jpg?resize=342%2C507&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Be That Lawyer Book\" class=\"wp-image-100043153 size-full\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to Grow Your Practice?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re serious about leveling\u00a0up your business development, grab a copy of my new book, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43mlduo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u201cBe That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers\u2019 Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice,\u201d<\/a><\/strong> available on Amazon.\u00a0And if you\u2019d like, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/fretzin.com\/letstalk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">schedule a 30-minute call<\/a> with me to share goals and, if it\u2019s a good fit, we can keep the conversation going.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen to the latest episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/fretzin.com\/podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Be That Lawyer<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-white-background-color has-background\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attorneyatwork.com\/subscribe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"372\" height=\"106\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.attorneyatwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AttorneyatWork-Logo-%C2%AE-2021-1.jpg?resize=372%2C106&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100019522 size-aaw-full-width-no-crop\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Sign up for Attorney at Work\u2019s daily practice tips newsletter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attorneyatwork.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.transistor.fm\/attorney-at-work-today\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">subscribe to our podcast<\/a>, Attorney at Work Today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be That Lawyer with Steve Fretzin: Learn Sarah Victory and Gary Johnson&#8217;s strategies for law practice growth and winning clients with speaking.
