COACHING CALLS
I’ve been training paralegals and legal support staff for 15+ years. One thing I know for certain: the Paralegal Boot Camp training methods work! And one of the ways that I help to ensure the outcome is to add group coaching to the online course.
What does that look like for your team?
If you choose the on-demand option for your team, they can access the online course and also attend monthly group coaching calls with others to ask questions about the legal support training topics covered in the course and to take deep dives into other topics with me.
You have the option to add private coaching calls with your team. Those video calls are with me on Zoom, discussing strategies and processes to address their specific problems and accelerate implementation.
I want your team to succeed!

Ann Pearson is the founder and CEO of Paralegal Boot Camp, the leading provider of skills-based training for paralegals and legal support staff. For over 15 years, she’s been on a mission to help law firms turn brand-new hires into rockstar performers, without asking busy attorneys to do the training.
Before founding Paralegal Boot Camp in 2010, Ann gained 20 years of real-world legal experience. She started as a litigation paralegal at an AmLaw 50 firm, working in antitrust, product liability, and construction litigation. She then became Paralegal Manager at McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, where she managed paralegals, docket clerks, and case assistants across three offices (Atlanta, New York, and San Diego).
Since 2010, Ann has developed proven training frameworks that consistently deliver results for law firms, government agencies, and in-house legal departments. Her programs, including the RISE Legal Support Mastery Program, Litigation Paralegal Boot Camp, Billable Hour Boot Camp, and AI Boot Camp for Legal Professionals, have helped thousands of legal professionals accelerate their careers and master the skills that matter most.
Ann’s approach is simple: practical, no-fluff training that bridges the gap between theory and real-world work. Her promise? Your team gets the skills they need to succeed, and you get back to building your firm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s the beautiful truth: This program SAVES you time, it doesn’t cost you time.
Think about it. Right now, every time you hire a paralegal or legal assistant, someone on your team (usually a senior paralegal or attorney) is spending hours walking them through the basics. And if that person leaves? You start from scratch with the next hire. It’s exhausting, inconsistent, and completely unscalable.
The RISE Legal Support Mastery Program flips that script. Your new hires log in on Day One and get world-class training without pulling your attorneys or senior staff away from billable work or client files. You’re not adding work. You’re eliminating the repetitive, time-consuming training cycle that’s draining your team right now.
Implementation is simple:
- On-Demand Access: Your team works through the modules at their own pace. No scheduling headaches, no disruption to your daily operations.
- On-Demand + Group Coaching: Add live support calls where your entire team can ask questions, troubleshoot challenges, and get personalized guidance.
- Live Webinar Series: We deliver the training live for your team with built-in coaching and accountability.
You choose the format that fits YOUR firm’s rhythm. And once it’s set up? Every future hire gets the same high-quality, consistent training without you lifting a finger.
Great question—and one we hear all the time! Here’s why the RISE program works across every practice area and firm size:
The foundation of high performance isn’t practice-specific—it’s universal. Whether your paralegals support litigation, corporate law, family law, or IP, they ALL need to:
- Think like strategic problem-solvers (not just task-takers)
- Own outcomes and manage projects with confidence
- Master time, attention to detail, and information management
- Develop a career growth mindset
These are the skills that separate average performers from rockstars, and they’re exactly what we teach in the RISE program.
Our training focuses on the mindset, behaviors, and professional habits that make legal support staff indispensable, no matter what type of law they’re supporting. Then, in Module 7, participants create their own personalized career development plan to build practice-specific skills, master their firm’s tech stack, and leverage AI in their role.
You absolutely could do that—but here’s what you’d be giving up:
- You’re limiting your talent pool (and paying a premium for it).
Experienced paralegals command higher salaries, and in today’s competitive market, they’re hard to find. When you ONLY hire experienced candidates, you’re competing with every other firm for a shrinking pool of talent.
With the RISE program, you can hire for potential, not just experience. Bring on smart, motivated candidates and rapidly develop them into confident, high-performing team members. You expand your hiring options while building loyalty—because employees who are invested in STAY.
- “Experienced” doesn’t always mean “high-performing.”
We’ve all seen it: someone with 10 years of experience who’s been doing the same tasks the same way for a decade. Experience ≠ excellence. The RISE program teaches the strategic thinking, proactive behaviors, and professional discipline that turn good paralegals into GREAT ones—regardless of their years in the field. - Experienced hires still need YOUR firm’s training.
Even seasoned paralegals need to learn your systems, your processes, your attorneys’ preferences, and your firm culture. The RISE program gives them the foundational mindset and behaviors that make that onboarding faster and smoother. They hit the ground running because they know HOW to think, act, and adapt like a high performer from Day One.
Bottom line: Hiring experienced talent is one strategy. But if you want to scale your team, reduce hiring costs, and build a culture of excellence, investing in training is how you win long-term.
You can choose from:
- The pre-recorded (on-demand) version of the program that your team takes from their computer or tablet.
- On-demand access (the same as number 1 above) plus add on a few private group coaching calls with Ann Pearson.
- A series of live webinars presented to your team via Zoom.
If you choose the pre-recorded option, your team is enrolled by us and they will receive an email notifying them that they have been enrolled and how to access the online course.
They can start and stop the course as often as they like, as they will have access to it for one year.
If you choose the series of live webinars, we will set everything up through Zoom on dates and times that fit best with your schedule. Your law firm will have access to the recordings for one year to share with anyone working at the firm.
The cost depends on which format you choose and the size of your group.
To get an estimate, email support@paralegal-bootcamp.com with an estimate of the size of your group and your preferred training format.
Don’t know which delivery method you want? That’s okay. We’ll schedule a call to help you decide.
