Being a powerful story-teller in court can also help you become a powerful story-teller across social media. Yet, people in professional services are often wary of posting on social media. That might not be a surprise, but sharing knowledge on a global platform can open you up to new clients and new opportunities.

That’s what my guest this week, Mitch Jackson, trial attorney and Senior Partner at Jackson & Wilson Inc, has done. Using his court room communication skills, he has taken social media by storm.

Tune in to find out how social media can be a game-changer for professionals. We talk to Mitch about his successful social strategy and how that has transformed his career.
