Misspoke about the class - it's Saturday, 7/10
As professionals - business owners - we need to think about insurance. First off, I AM NOT AN INSURANCE AGENT/BROKER - THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY.
What happens if you cannot produce a transcript for whatever reason?
What happens if your equipment is damaged off-site at an assignment?
What happens if you are injured and cannot work?
All are scenarios wherein you can protect yourself with insurance.
Errors & Omissions, Inland Marine (portable equipment), and disability.
It may feel like an expense a new business person cannot afford but in my opinion, we cannot afford NOT to have these things.
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!
