Once amassed, your power must be hyper-focused. Sunzi writes of “The strike of a hawk at the killing snap.” Thoroughly prepared to unleash her power, the hawk is hyper-focused, fast and lethal. With a commanding view chosen for scanning surrounding terrain, telescope-like vision, the hawk plunges steeply downward, wings partially closed at speeds that can exceed 120 mph, all 4 talons fully extended, on contact the talons of her contracting foot driven into the body of her prey. 

It all starts with the power amassed by being thoroughly prepared. The strategic advantage and confidence that come with knowing your case. Cold. Make no mistake about it. There is no substitute for hard work, going from knowing simply what happened, to thoroughly understanding how and why it happened. Watching your focus group videos until you get a feel for how jurors see your case and finding that story you can’t wait to tell your jury. However deep you’ve been digging, dig deeper.
