CART: Up-Skills For The Job, And Confidence For The Future,
Part 2 of 3
By Monette Benoit, All Rights Reserved.
Part I was posted www.monettebenoit.com, 2/8/10.
Michelle Coffey, Premier Captioning & Realtime Ltd., entered reporting in 1992. She earned her RPR in 1996, and her CRI in 2001.
Michelle also holds a degree in criminal psychology and diploma in counseling from the University College Dublin in Ireland.
Michelle Coffey and I met in Australia in 2000 when I was keynote speaker for the Shorthand Reporter Association of Australia, SRAA.
In Fremantle, I spoke about reporting to the Internet and also working with deaf/Deaf, oral deaf and hard of hearing, HOH.
My seminars were real-timed to a large screen and sign interpreted in Australian sign language, a first.
Our friendship began the day we spoke on a captioning panel. She has the brightest spirit. Michelle truly enhanced the session with her wisdom and humor.
Several days later, we bumped into each other - deep within the Australian Bush. A small world indeed.
Michelle Coffey has been a true leader in Ireland. She has a wonderful can-do attitude. When I see her name in my e-mails, I smile knowing “this is going to be entertaining and good.” Michelle was the first captioner in Ireland. No surprise here that she has led another first in her country. I am honored to share Michelle Coffey’s first CART path within Ireland.
Part II of III
Michelle Coffey: We spoke to Irish Sign Language interpreters, to Speedtexters, and to note-takers, and in the process we all learned a lot about the pros and cons of all the services.
Next, we spent some time talking to different interest groups, from the National Association for the Deaf, to DeafHear (a hard-of-hearing association), to Irish Deaf Kids, all the way through to the access officers at educational institutions.
And at each point, when we did our “show and tell” the response was always the same, “This is fantastic, why haven’t we heard of it before?”
But the most important people we met were the students who were with us on this new road of discovery. And it was never far from our minds as we prepared for the beginning of term, that the weight of expectation on us was enormous; from the students that they would get a service appropriate to their needs; from the colleges that we would provide a suitable access solution for their students; and from ourselves and the up-and-coming CART reporters, that we prove that CART services can, and should, be an integral part of accessibility services for all educational establishments in Ireland.
However, much more telling and – proof that this service is necessary and will be a success is a statement from Emma, the first student to take up the service.
After having only two sessions with a CART provider, she had this to say, “I can’t believe the difference CART has made to my life.
Did you know that I began this degree course four years ago but had to drop out because I couldn’t participate in my PBL (peer-based learning) lectures?”
Well, we didn’t know that, but it certainly makes it much easier to study and up-skill for the job when you hear that what you do can has such a profound effect on someone else’s life!
Part 3 of 3 will be posted 3/8/10.

Lose Him? Lose It? Part 3
Mindful management is a term I share when I’m coaching professionals and students. I desire to share mindful management moments with you.
Monette’s Mindful Management: Lose Him? Lose It? Part 3
By Monette Benoit, All Rights Reserved.
Part I and Part 2 were posted on Monette’s Musings, www.monettebenoit.com, www.crrbooks.com and www.mylegal.com
That "Lose Him!" candle (discussed in Part 1 and 2) sparked conversations and discussion. How does this relate to mindful management? Messages come in all shapes and sizes.
Now we target “Lose It!” within our world. The focus is in the decision to act. You make the decision moment by moment with mindful management – at work, at the gym, while shopping and preparing for a great night’s sleep. You focus.
You selectively lose actions, items, experiences -- yes, people -- and your life will change. You will notice a difference.
Part 3: Once when I was moving (not a ‘throw move’ within a zip code, but a complete pack-ker-roo) I became overwhelmed with abundant tasks and responsibilities required in a short period of time.
I was packing a household to be placed (thrown) into a truck. My parents motored into the city to check on my processing (they would use the word “progress”) or lack thereof.
My father had a bottle of wine and garbage bags. He opened the wine, unwrapped three bags. I remained seated, sighing - a lot.
This guidance counselor, teacher, medic, social worker, psychologist (psych counselor with the Veterans Administration) said, “You only have three decisions. Yes. No. I don’t know. If you don’t know the answer, then the item goes into this I-don’t-know bag. No thinking. None. Yes. No. I don’t know.”
This action – once brought into a focus that was darn close to zero stress for me – became very doable. We zipped through the process(ing).
I was amazed at what I was willing ‘to lose’ based upon a possibility with three simple choices.
I incorporated that day’s life lesson into many aspects (buckets full) within my world.
When I learned a friend still had boxed items of a sibling who had died years ago I was stunned and amazed. (When my brother died, the day his few possessions arrived I opened everything. I had to process. I sat on the floor – felt my world shift. And that was good – to move forward.)
My friend, a nurse, had never opened her sister’s boxes saying, “It’s too painful.”
When I mentioned going through the boxes, she developed a headache. In real-time, I watched her become physically ill. The mere thought ‘froze’ her.
I placed three boxes on the floor. I held up each item asking, “Yes? No? Later?” She nodded or shook her head.
Soon we had moved through her sister’s ‘never-opened’ items. I saw her lose the tight grip the boxes (and inaction) had upon her.
“Lose It!” focus does not need to involve moving or dealing with items from a loved one.
The focus may be simplified to preparing for a job, departure time on a snowy or rainy highway, planning your time to produce a job, and selecting food (standing or sitting?).
What do you want to lose? Time-wasters? Items? Tasks achieving the same results?
Identify three items you want to lose (okay, make it one, if three is too high). Identify three redundant actions.
What do you need to lose to improve your world?
Would the results be worth the loss?
Then get a plan, a garbage bag, or new mental approach. Invest in yourself and “Losing It!” You will see forward motion.
What are you willing to lose based upon a possibility with simple choices?
Is this a timely message for Valentine’s Day? Many people contacted me to say, “Yes, and I want to lose …”
This is your opportunity to unblock, unpack and to undo routine patterns. Here is your opportunity to effectively implement a new task and a new action with mindful management.
When you decide on “Lose It!”, then I want you to note what you create (what arrives) that would not have had an opportunity if “Lose It!” had not become a focused action.
New moments arrive. New results occur. They do.

CART: Up-Skills For The Job, And Confidence For The Future, Part I of III
CART: Up-Skills For The Job, And Confidence For The Future
Part I of III
By Monette Benoit, All Rights Reserved.
Michelle Coffey, Premier Captioning & Realtime Ltd., entered reporting in 1992. She earned her RPR in 1996, and her CRI in 2001.
Michelle also holds a degree in criminal psychology and diploma in counseling from the University College Dublin in Ireland.
Michelle Coffey and I met in Australia in 2000 when I was keynote speaker for the Shorthand Reporter Association of Australia, SRAA.
In Fremantle, I spoke about reporting to the Internet and also working with deaf/Deaf, oral deaf and hard of hearing, HOH.
My seminars were real-timed to a large screen and sign interpreted in Australian sign language, a first.
Our friendship began the day we spoke on a captioning panel. She has the brightest spirit. Michelle truly enhanced the session with her wisdom and humor.
Several days later, we bumped into each other - deep within the Australian Bush. A small world indeed.
Michelle Coffey has been a true leader in Ireland. She has a wonderful can-do attitude. When I see her name in my e-mails, I smile knowing “this is going to be entertaining and good.” Michelle was the first captioner in Ireland.
No surprise here that she has led another first in her country. I am honored to share Michelle Coffey’s first CART path within Ireland.
Michelle Coffey, RPR, CRI: I’m proud to say that Ireland was there at the beginning of court reporting, that is Ward Stone Ireland, who is generally accepted to be the inventor of the stenograph keyboard, as we know it today. But in modern-day Ireland the court reporting profession is under threat, from electronic recording and declining numbers of experienced professionals.
Ireland has a very different court-reporting environment to that of the United States. In Ireland we have a reasonably small number of court reporters; however, we also have a small number of courts in which to work. But when, in the last 18 months, a large portion of the courts moved over to electronic recording, we saw a massive reduction in the amount of available work for the reporters. This caused panic, with many reporters questioning what they were going to do now? How were they going to earn enough money?
All the ‘hard’ questions came to the fore.
We were left with a decision, whether to wade into the ever-shrinking marketplace and vie for work there, or to venture out into an area as yet untried in the Irish market.
The question of whether to stay in a declining marketplace, where everyone will undoubtedly face a decrease in earnings, or to look to a new opportunity which would leave the status quo relatively intact, was simple.
Our answer was CART.
And so, after many months of negotiations, explanations and demonstrations, we are proud to announce that the first-ever CART services have begun in Ireland.
Prior to this, a cart was something pulled by a horse; Irish CART services did not exist. Well, they didn’t!
But once we set out on this road we were determined to change that. So our first job was to engage with the different types of service providers already in this field.
