Why practice today? Ask Me Anything has the answers in Nov. 17 ZoomUp

Join NCRF’s next Ask Me Anything ZoomUp, Why Practice Today? on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 8–9 p.m. Eastern for an honest conversation about the role practice plays throughout a stenographer’s career. Whether you are working toward a certification, building speed and confidence, or already a seasoned professional, there is always a reason to keep practicing, and our panelists are ready to share how and why they do it.

Moderated by NCRF Chair Meredith Bonn, RPR, CRR, this session will explore practical strategies for making practice more effective, purposeful, and relevant to the demands of professional work. Panelists will share what their practice routines look like, where they find material, how they work on speed and comfort, and how they prepare themselves to write challenging, high-speed material.

“Practice is not something that ends when you graduate or reach a professional milestone,” Bonn said. “It is one of the ways we continue to grow throughout our careers. I’m looking forward to hearing how our panelists approach practice, what motivates them, and the strategies they use to become stronger, more confident writers.”
