Today is January 2, 2023. It's a federal holiday and I decided I was taking all the days off - well, not fully OFF, but mostly off. Today I'm clearing my desk, working on 2022 books, managing stuff for January b/c it promises to be a busy month.
My word for 2023 is renew - and it follows some other great words from prior years. Focus (2020), Release (2021), and Authentic (2022). My plan for 2023 is to renew my passions - for work, for play, for health, for friendships, for life.
I wish you amazing success in 2023. How may I help you achieve your success?!
You all know I love giving back... and I've been speaking at the local law school for many years now, sharing with the students who will be future litigators how they can work WITH court reporters to create a truly excellent record.
I love doing this - and if you have the chance, please consider doing it in your area. The "baby" lawyers appreciated it and the next generation of court reporters will too!
We all love rituals - girls nights, massages, regular workouts... but what about our working rituals?
Do you have any that ease you into your productivity? Perhaps alleviate any anxiety?
Our job as a stenographer (or captioners) is filled with stressors and if we can develop rituals for ourselves to help limit those stresses, think how healthy, happy, and productive we can become?!
I love this profession... and I love sharing it. Wherever you are, in whatever period in your career you find yourself, be an amazing advocate! Introduce people to this incredible opportunity for someone who loves English, the law, computers, learning... Be the little pebble that creates the ripple in the pond!
