IMS Senior Client Success Advisor Adam Bloomberg sits down with Alexa Hiley, Jury Consultant, and Chris Dominic, Senior Director of Jury Consulting, to discuss preparing CEOs and other senior executives to testify under pressure. Watch the conversation to learn how attorneys and their executive witnesses can build credibility with jurors, avoid the pitfalls of overpreparation, and remain authentic on the stand.
Chris (whose insights on executive communication were recently featured in The Wall Street Journal) and Alexa share what changes for executives in the courtroom, why jurors evaluate warmth and intent alongside competence, and how the “neighbor tone” can help witnesses communicate respectfully without appearing condescending. They also explore why overpreparation can undermine credibility, how jurors may interpret cognitive strain, and why deposition testimony should receive the same careful preparation as trial testimony.
Ideal for in-house counsel, litigation teams, and executives preparing to testify at deposition or trial, this on-demand webcast offers practical guidance for communicating credibly and authentically under cross-examination.
