Event Details
Confidence is something many interpreters lack. Many interpreters are afraid to put themselves out there in their product for fear of what others will think. In order to make sure we are producing our best product for consumers; we need to learn to accept our work as professionals and remember that we are the experts in our field. This workshop will help empower interpreters so they can show confidence in their products. It will also take a look at the balance between being over confident, and not confident enough, and how both can affect our careers as interpreters.
Educational Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
-assess the impact confidence has on the interpreting product
-develop 2 ways to improve confidence when preparing to interpret
-demonstrate ways to empower ourselves in our own work
