Studying the Gerry Spence Method at the Ranch helped remind of me who I truly am as a person — my value system, my sense of right and wrong — and that I should always lead with that as I practice law, not with credentials or resume or whatever else the BigLaw matrix tries to convince lawyers is most important. It’s not. Helping people in need is most important.”

Real growth begins when we step outside our comfort zone and are willing to take risks, to embrace our journey—darkness, light, and every part of it. Our story is what makes us a real human being capable of forming a real connection with twelve strangers to guide them to the result we want for our clients by using powerful storytelling techniques.”

Sitting on the bridge by the creek, engaging in psychodrama – my own and the ones of those who would become my family–, empowered by the interplay between law and compassion, connecting to my voice were all part of a powerful experience. I remain mindful and grateful for Gerry’s generosity – opening up his home, sharing his depth of knowledge and talent, and offering me that amazing month-long opportunity. It was and is a blessing.”

Gerry Spence’ three-weeks program forced me to dig deep and to go to places in my past that I had avoided because there was pain or hurt or shame or some other issue that hindered my personal growth. By finding the courage to return to the source of those issues, I and every other person who attended the program unburdened ourselves from those limitations that hinder our abilities to uncover the most credible and persuasive story of our cases which ultimately compels a jury to vote for you because of the lawyer’s credibility.”
