4 Principles for Preparing Your Next Legal Nurse Consultant Jobs

4 Principles for Preparing Your Next Legal Nurse Consultant Jobs

Every Certified Legal Nurse Consultant would agree that whether you’re about to interview with an attorney-prospect for your next legal nurse consultant jobs, present opinions on a medical case or write a comprehensive legal nurse report, you must be prepared.

All CLNC® consultants would also agree that reciting your script in the elevator on the ride up to the attorney’s office doesn’t count as preparation. These four preparation principles when applied will strengthen your productivity for any future legal nurse jobs.

  1. Spontaneous performance is rarely born out of spontaneity. When you observe a legal nurse consultant who appears spontaneously eloquent, she’s probably no more articulate than you. In fact, the only real difference is that she always shows up prepared. After 34 years as a legal nurse consultant educator, I still take the time to prepare for every significant event. Whether I’m about to deliver a keynote speech to 1,200 CLNC consultants, present Oprah to the legal nurse consultants at the Consultant 2.0 event with Stedman Graham or teach a live CLNC Certification Seminar, I concentrate my energy towards a comfortable and relaxed state of preparedness. The more relaxed you are, the more you can release the prepared script and speak to the attorney (or anyone else) in a confident, spontaneous way. The first step to showing up prepared is committing to put in the time.
  2. Readiness for important legal nurse consultant jobs requires staging. Knowing you have no idea what the day has in store, it’s important to stage it. Start the day in the spirit of setting the stage for your next legal nurse consultant jobs no matter how they present and no matter what else gets in your way. I start my day with a cup of healthy green tea to get into the right mindset for the day. Then the madness, which is sure to come, doesn’t seem so maddening at all (at least most of the time).
  3. Not all preparation for legal nurse consultant jobs is created equal. Despite popular belief, the best time to prepare for your next legal nurse consultant jobs interviews or presentations is not right before the event. Life and business happen and the best intentions to prepare later get tossed out the window when an important attorney calls with an urgent deadline. Now, no matter how hard you try, you can’t concentrate on the job at hand and you’ve lost your precious window of creativity and mental staging time. Once I’ve staged my day with a cup of tea, I next jump into the most important event that’s going to happen that day before all of the demands and clutter of the day start seeping into my mind. Early in the morning my time is my own. There are no interruptions and I can take the time to completely focus on that attorney interview, presenting that case or walking on stage before that screaming crowd (okay walking into my office before that screaming crowd waiting outside my door). Not all preparation is created equal, so commit to prepare for your biggest job at the beginning of the day (before it runs away from you).
  4. Obsessive preparation is counterproductive. Once you’ve prepared mentally, set the legal nurse consulting job aside and move on with the day. Don’t burn up all your energy by staying focused on an upcoming event all day long. Revisit your preparation right before you start the attorney interview or presentation. This is not the same as preparing right before – now you’re simply refreshing the prep work you’ve already done.

Apply these four principles to your next legal nurse consultant jobs to be productive, creative and prepared.

Success Is Yours!
