Let’s Learn from Each Other!

Like you, I have to be a continuous learner if I want to stay on top of the ever-changing tech world and if I want to offer our clients the best products and advice for their unique situations. Toward that end, I recently reached out to two trainers – one who works internally at a law firm and one who serves as an external training consultant – to learn more about the industry we serve.

With no further ado, I bring you those interviews!

The Internal Trainer’s Perspective

This month, I chatted with Maritta Terrell, Trainer and Help Desk Specialist with Lloyd Gosselink Rochelle & Townsend, P.C. Maritta started as a receptionist at a Houston law firm and, thanks to a lot of hard work (and hard-wired curiosity!), Maritta ultimately became an IT Manager and finally a trainer. This interview shares her career path as well as her insights into the law firm training industry.

Q. In your own words, define what training means in a law firm.

A. Law firm trainers train, guide, coach and assist all people in a law firm with the software on their computers so that they can work more efficiently with less frustration at the technology they have to use.

Q. How has the practice of training in law firms changed in the last 11 years?

A. It’s gone from sit-in-a-classroom-and-watch for a week at a time, to one day at a time, to sit-in-a-classroom-at-a-computer-and-try-out-what-the-teacher-is-saying for an hour or less. Today, we add eLearning so that people can watch videos and PowerPoints and try things on their own. We also provide one-on-one coaching and, of course, we teach people how to do one thing right now!

There’s lots more!

The External Trainer’s Perspective

Barb Ragsdale founded The Consortium and she’s been training at law firms for over 30 years. The woman is connected, uber-smart and, well, savvy! Let’s hear her thoughts, shall we?

Q: What is the biggest training trend in law firms today?

A: I work with law firms of every size, from two attorneys to those with over 1000, but mostly I work with firms that have 50 to 500 attorneys. I see one thing happening everywhere: they are getting rid of their in-house trainers and shifting those responsibilities to the human resources department.

To the firms, they think this shift makes sense. HR professionals are “in the people business.” They like helping people. But I can tell you that those poor folks already have enough on their plates and they are not keeping up with things like Microsoft Office releases.

Q: What have you recommended to the HR people you’re helping?

A: I don’t care how big a law firm is, they need to get all of their training materials and communications in one place. I see these firms reinventing the wheel every time they need a new training program. They also create entirely different materials for their satellite offices, storing them on random drives that only a few people know about. It’s madness! Imagine the wasted time and money involved in this inefficient process!
