You all know who Allie is because we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing her before on Episode 10, but now we have one of her students Rose Detloff joining her this time to talk about her miraculous journey through school. Listen as we give Rose and Allie a Q&A on their thoughts on practice, mindset, and how to get through court reporting school. This lady sought out Allie Hall and excelled through her program and certified at light speed. Right out of theory (while finishing a bachelor's degree and working) and into speed building, she was already testing at 180/200wpm tests. And she didn't stop there folks.  She went right for the RPR and all under 12 months.   #alliehall #alliechallengedusall #rosegetsoutted #rosedetloff  #theorytoRPRinlessthanayear #mindsetandhardwork Find Rose's practice routine here! https://www.facebook.com/groups/ECRSgroup/permalink/10157946549330689 Questions for Rose and Allie:  https://www.instagram.com/stenorose/ https://www.facebook.com/allie.m.hall.1 Music: Hook Sounds: Past Moments --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steno-talk-podcast/support
