One Travel Tip Every Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Needs to Know

At the CLNC® Certification Seminar in Chicago this week a new Certified Legal Nurse Consultant shared that she just met her first attorney-client at the Chicago airport. I hear this story a lot. Traveling is a great opportunity to meet attorneys and people who know attorneys. CLNC consultants, attorneys and airports are a natural combination. This Certified Legal Nurse Consultant was well-dressed and well-spoken and I’m sure she did a great job of presenting herself.

Air travel is the one industry that is in a retrograde mode, moving backwards in terms of quality, comfort and value. This tends to encourage people to dress down to travel – shorts, flip-flops, yoga tops and Lululemon pants. I understand dressing comfortably to travel. I do it myself, but the last time I checked there was no place on a United 767 to put out your mat and do a couple of downward dogs.

You can network with anyone who is within three feet of you including when you are traveling. But who’s going to make the better presentation? The woman in the sweatpants with “Juicy” across her butt (whether it is or not) or the CLNC consultant who is dressed comfortably but professionally?

Always Dress for CLNC® Success (Even If You’re Just Getting the Mail)

Our more casual attire doesn’t always set us up strategically for spontaneously meeting attorney-prospects. Professional Certified Legal Nurse Consultants know there’s such a thing as comfortable, too comfortable and way too comfortable, and they dress accordingly anytime they step out the door.
