Steno Talk

New Year, new podcast episode!

What does your support system look like? How can you effectively support your partner and/or spouse in this challenging journey? This week we bring some amazing perspectives of what that looks like. Court reporting school (and even your first year of work) isn't easy to navigate alone and can be overwhelming even for those around us. We gathered your questions and sat down with the Steno Husband himself, Jose, to see what this adventure looks like on the other side of the machine. 

Are you a student looking for a mentor, or a working reporter looking to give back to the steno community? On this episode of Steno Talk we finish interviewing Nicole Bulldis and McKalie Bellew as they shine some light on what it really means to be and have a mentor. It’s so crucial for students to have a mentor and someone to lean on while on their court reporting journey. Keep in mind that mentors aren’t just for students either! Think of all the things you’ll be thrown into once you certify and how many questions you’ll have, and why stop at one? Get all the mentors! Put yourself out there and make those connections and reap the benefits!

How many times have you been asked when you're going to graduate or be out of school? Yeah, us too. We get it. It's so freaking hard guys! But, in this episode, we wanted to bring you all together and talk about what the court reporting school journey really looks like in the real world. Court reporting school is hard enough, especially when life happens. For those of you still on your court reporting school journey, we'll see you on the other side because you got this, and we're here for it no matter how long it takes.

You all know who Allie is because we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing her before on Episode 10, but now we have one of her students Rose Detloff joining her this time to talk about her miraculous journey through school. Listen as we give Rose and Allie a Q&A on their thoughts on practice, mindset, and how to get through court reporting school. This lady sought out Allie Hall and excelled through her program and certified at light speed. Right out of theory (while finishing a bachelor's degree and working) and into speed building, she was already testing at 180/200wpm tests. And she didn't stop there folks.  She went right for the RPR and all under 12 months.
