About
Team H2H is here to help you change how you communicate, connect, and practice law.
Through teaching, coaching, consulting—and a healthy dose of challenging conventional wisdom—we help lawyers trade fear for connection, becoming stronger, more human advocates because of it.
I'm Sari de la Motte
I never planned to work with lawyers.
I thought I’d spend my life teaching music.
Instead, a fascination with communication, connection, and human behavior led me to the courtroom.
I’ve spent the last two decades helping trial lawyers communicate more authentically and connect more deeply.
Turns out, understanding people was the plan all along.
From Hostage to Hero: Captivate the Jury by Setting Them Free
As the author of From Hostage to Hero—the first Trial Guides book to surpass 100 five-star reviews—I help plaintiff attorneys turn passive jurors into active champions for justice during trial.
My approach is backed by my expertise as a Certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC), mastery in nonverbal intelligence and decades of consulting for the nation’s top trial lawyers, including members of the Inner Circle of Advocates.
Today, my From Hostage to Hero framework is lovingly called The H2H Method. As I continue to work with plaintiff attorneys and Mastermind clients, the method keeps evolving to stay a step ahead of today’s changing jury pools.

Helping Trial Lawyers Communicate and Connect
We help lawyers change how they communicate, connect, and practice law. Everything we teach is grounded in a simple belief: when trial lawyers shift internally, their external world shifts, too.
Coaching
For when you want real-time support in how you think, prepare, and show up in the courtroom.
We focus on helping you release fear, trust your instincts, and find your grounding in high-stakes moments.
Our coaching is built on a liberating truth: you aren’t broken—you’re already enough.
Training & Events
Live experiences that shift how you approach trial, juries, and communication.
We deliver practical tools paired with a deeper reset in how you see yourself, your role, and the people across from you.
Our work is rooted in trust—in yourself, in the process, and in the belief that jurors are not the enemy.
Community
A space to stay connected to the H2H Method™ beyond a single program or event.
Find the support, reflection, and ongoing conversation you need to keep choosing a more human way to practice law.
We’re grounded in love and freedom—because this work changes faster when you stop making it so damn heavy and start enjoying the process again.
