Build Confidence. Silence Self-Doubt. Interpret with Presence.

Do you ever second-guess your mid-job choices or replay every perceived mistake after an assignment? You're not alone—and you're not failing. This empowering workshop is designed specifically for interpreters who struggle with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or chronic self-criticism.

Through guided reflection, discussion, and practical tools, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize and reframe negative self-talk

• Strengthen your professional confidence

• Stay grounded and present in high-stress or high-stakes situations

• Embrace growth over perfection

Whether you're a seasoned interpreter or just starting out, this session offers the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed. Interpreting doesn’t require perfection, it requires presence.

Ideal for: Working interpreters, students, mentors

Navigating Conflict with Clarity, Compassion, and Professional Boundaries

Interpreting can mean stepping into emotionally charged situations—grief-filled hospital rooms, heated family disagreements, or high-stakes legal exchanges. It’s more than words; it’s emotional labor.

This workshop equips interpreters with practical emotional intelligence tools to stay present, professional, and composed when the tension rises. You’ll explore:

• Techniques for emotional regulation during difficult assignments

• When to engage, when to step back, and how to tell the difference

• Grounding strategies for post-assignment recovery

• Healthy boundaries that support both consumers and interpreters

• De-escalation skills that center access and dignity

Ideal for newer interpreters or anyone seeking deeper emotional resilience, this session offers a space to reflect, learn, and grow.

Ideal for: New interpreters, students, and working professionals encountering emotionally intense settings
