Seems like you are strategy and half the battle in strategy is sounding convincing and making others believe aka sell the insight and recommendation.

So be like in the interviews, have a POV, back it up with facts and your opinion. At your level you are getting paid to provide your opinion based on all your years of experience.

Be confident, don’t be wishy washy, but you can be flexible and amendable to counterpoints that you think are valid aka be collaborative.

You have to show you can not necessarily command the room but not be intimidated by it and control the conversation aka presence.

How do you as the attorney balance your advice with your client’s wishes? Meaning when what the client wants is not, in your opinion, in their best interest, when they want to settle for less “to be done,” or pay more “to get him out of the house,” when do you stop pushing back and give in? I’ve lost at least one client before for pushing too hard to get what they were entitled to when they wanted to give in and I’m fear I’m facing something similar now.
