Since 1993, reporters have trained, improved, grew, and enjoyed the tremendous benefits of becoming excellent realtime writers by attending the Anita Paul Realtime Mastery Workshop.

"PHENOMENAL is one word to describe Anita Paul's Realtime seminar.  I had been doing realtime for 10 years and had gotten burned out, and I put my  Realtime cables away.  After participating in your workshop, that rejuvenated my skills and my confidence, and there was so much great practical information.  If only you could package your seminar in a pill form and we could take an Anita Paul vitamin and pop a PAUL PILL before each job! Thank you for putting your energies into our profession and the care and feelings you've shown toward us."                                                           Patricia A.

"I owe much of my later professional success to Anita Paul Johnston.  She changed my life, literally, by attending her seminar.  Yes, she taught me many techniques on changing my writing for realtime, but more important was what she instilled in those of us who had been reporting for quite a while and were intimidated.  She made us believe NOTHING is impossible and we could do it, and she was right!  I said when I passed the CRR, that she deserved the credit and heck, she deserves the credit for the CBC too. Quite a lady!"  .                                                     Linda Miller, CRR, RMR, CBC  Windfield, IL

Why take Anita's Realtime training?

Court reporters come from many walks of life, different skill and experience levels, and several theories.  Our innate skills vary.  Some people “flew” through school in less than two years; others took perhaps as long as ten years to make it.   

A few folks teach themselves realtime and embrace technology with great excitement.  Others are terrified of realtime (the world will see the truth of what my record looks like before I get to spend my research time, fill in drops, and clean up the unreadable mess). 

Most of us are somewhere in between. 

How vital is REALTIME?  Not that important, as long as you don’t care about your career.  After all, there’s electronic recording (ER).  Less expensive, adequate in some cases, and the bottom line is it works.  REALTIME IS the next generation of quality record-making, the embracing of technology at its finest.  REALTIME is the reality of entry-level skill for the next generation of court reporting, the entry level of skill to apply to our emerging careers.  RPRs can be replaced; REALTIME reporters cannot be replaced.

So HOW do you become realtime excellent?

The EASIEST and FASTEST is to attend

                   the most widely developed

                   focused

                   explosively fun

                   and content-filled

realtime workshop on the planet, the Anita Paul Realtime Mastery Workshop™.  Enjoy a year’s worth of learning in one long weekend.  Sound overwhelming?  Could be, but not necessarily.  By mastering one stroke, one concept, one technique at a time, one thought at a time, you will be chanting “I CAN do this!”  Anita generously gives tremendous information and a workbook that could take years to master.  So don't think that just because she is so inspiring and entertaining (and you will laugh) that there's the slightest lack of content.   As Bob Pike says, "Learning is directly proportional to the amount of fun you have!"

Anita’s approach is to take you, the existing reporter, where you are NOW and assist you in transforming your writing skills to YOUR next level.  By improving one EASY, ACHIEVABLE step at a time, you are on your path to realtime excellence.  Anita’s training encompasses techniques to help the most basic, non-realtime reporter to begin this incredible journey, as well as the advanced realtime reporter, CART provider or broadcast captioned, to hone and sharpen their skills toward total perfection.

How do you know you will benefit from these results?  Ask the thousands of Anita Paul Realtime graduates.  A training company is usually not around for 14 years unless the training is wildly successful.  Especially in such a small industry.   Anita’s graduates have gone on to become CRRs, wildly successful RT writers making a ton of money, owners of their own realtime agencies, CART providers, and broadcast captioners, as well as top leaders in our profession.    

MORE IMPORTANTLY, Anita instills inspiration, excitement, and confidence.  The quality of life, contribution, and personal clarity is paramount as a foundation to excel in anything, and Anita's stories, messages, and peak performance training techniques excite participants to be in an emotional space of greater accomplishment.  It’s so vital to tap in to your maximum potential and to blow out fears and perceived thoughts (that are usually erroneous or shifted as time goes on).   When you emulate experts and successful people in any walk of life, that becomes part of your new reality. 

Today there is so much information available regarding the brain, how it processes information, how it learns, the varying ways individuals process information.  There are many ways to learn and to absorb information.  Anita's approach is to adopt a FUN learning style that works for YOU.  It is NOT about how Anita learns and processes information.  It is about how YOU learn and process information.  This is vital to maximize the learning process and retention for each individual in the room.  Anita combines learning techniques through visual, audio, and kinesthetic applications.  Anita's approach is "YOUR WAY," not "her way."

"Anita, I’ve taken three of your workshops, and I give you a HUGE thank you for teaching me so much and assisting me in my fantastic career.  I was requested to go on extensive, difficult, multi-copy dailies hooked up, and earned well over $5,000 a day.  This would never have happened without your fantastic guidance, inspiration, and great skill-building techniques.  If everyone in our profession took your training, we would all be unstoppable!"                                                                                                          Kimberly Thrall Crane, CSR, RPR San Diego, CA

• California CSR since 1974 and official in the Los Angeles             Municipal and Superior Courts for 17 years
• Member of National Speakers Association (NSA)
• Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)

• Member of the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD)
• Graduate of Bob Pike's Train the Trainer extensive trainings

Anita has been a California CSR and she worked as an official court reporter in the Los Angeles Municipal and Superior Courts from 1974 to 1992.  During this time, the love of teaching inspired Anita to teach evening court reporting classes for about 12 years. 

In 1991, Anita was instrumental in introducing the California courts to the first complete CIC (Computer Integrated Courtroom) environment, including video synchronization, wherein she reported back-to-back daily trials for over a year with her partner, Pat Cuneo, networked to 11 computers.  At this time Anita researched, developed, and perfected her realtime skills.  She gave numerous seminars and presentations on this exciting CIC technology to reporters, judges, court administrators, and attorneys and thereafter became an active member of the National Speakers Association. 

This background led to the creation of her successful, hands-on, world-renowned workshops and seminars since 1993, fulfilling her personal commitment and life vision to making a positive, meaningful difference in people's lives. She has expanded her training to include a transition to broadcast captioning, CART and attorney seminars on effective record-making.  In May of 2007 she earned her CSP by the National Speakers Association, the highest earned designation in professional speaking. .
