Embracing Improvement for a Better Future

At Riemer Hess, improvement is more than just a principle—it’s a commitment to learning, adapting, and enhancing the quality of our work every day. As we enter the new year, we’re setting clear goals to better serve our clients:

  • Enhancing Communication: We’re focusing on streamlining updates and responses to ensure you always feel informed and supported throughout your case.

  • Expanding Knowledge: Our team is dedicating more time to continuing education on the latest legal strategies and industry changes to better advocate for you.

  • Adapting to Challenges: Every case is unique, and unexpected challenges arise. We’re committed to adapting quickly and finding innovative solutions that protect your rights and maximize your benefits. 

This value also guides us personally. Every member of our team is encouraged to reflect on their work and identify areas for growth. Whether it’s refining a legal argument, improving efficiency, or exploring new technology, we strive to be better than we were yesterday.

As we set these goals for ourselves, we encourage you to think about how improvement might play a role in your own life this year. Small, consistent steps can lead to meaningful progress. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Reflecting on the Past, Preparing for the Future

December encourages us to pause and prepare, especially for those navigating the challenges of long term disability claims. This month, we recommend a book that offers insights into learning from the past and setting goals for the future.

 "The Power of Your Past: The Art of Recalling, Recasting, and Reclaimingâ€
By: John P. Schuster

About the Book:  In "," John P. Schuster discusses how our personal history can be a valuable resource for growth and transformation. The book guides readers on how to recall and reflect on their past experiences constructively, recast them in a more empowering light, and reclaim their stories to inform and shape their future. Schuster combines storytelling with practical exercises, making this book a resourceful guide for anyone looking to understand their past and use it to create a better future.

Why It’s Relevant: For clients who have spent the year dealing with long-term disability claims, reflecting on their experiences can be a profound exercise in understanding and growth. "The Power of Your Past" is particularly relevant as it provides a framework for using personal history as a tool for future success and well-being. It’s an empowering read for those who are looking to learn from the past year's experiences and set meaningful goals for the future.


Why You Might Find It Inspiring: This book is more than just a reflection tool; it’s a guide for transformation. It encourages readers to look at their past experiences, including challenges and setbacks, as opportunities for learning and growth. For anyone looking to make sense of their past and use it to positively shape their future, especially in the context of disability and recovery, "The Power of Your Past" offers a path to do so with clarity and purpose.

In December, as we embrace the theme of "Building on the Past, Looking Ahead," let this book be a source of inspiration and guidance.
