Episode 32: It’s Not Just About the Paralegal Skills

In this solo episode of the Paralegals on Fire! Podcast Show, Ann Pearson suggests that a new litigation paralegal should look at three key areas early in their career: mindset, behaviors, and skills. If you only focus on the paralegal skills that you might be lacking early in your career, then you might spend too much time focused on how many decades it will take you to gain all of those skills.

Show Highlights

  • A discussion on the framework that is part of the Litigation Paralegal Career Accelerator
  • Paralegal skills can be learned, but you also have to think about your mindset and behaviors
  • The 3 mindsets to kickstart your paralegal career
