Your Actionable Strategy

In all of our podcast episodes, we try to give paralegals an actionable strategy that they can take away from the show because we know your time is valuable.

In this podcast episode, Kim Barrett suggested:

 

  • Connect with your colleagues. 
  • Join your local paralegal organization. 
  • Speak to colleagues at other firms. 
  • Ask questions, and don’t take no for an answer. 
  • Remember: “If you don’t ask, the answer will always be no.”
