Zoom Workshop. Meeting ID and password will be sent via email 1 day prior to workshop.
Is It Me or You? Recognizing the Demands of Crucial Interpreting Moments.
Tempers are hot, the client isn’t satisfied, and I feel discombobulated! How to take accountability and conversational skills and apply them to my interpreting work. This workshop will take the concepts learned in Crucial Accountability and Conversations and adapt them to working with clients as an ASL interpreter. When to look inward for the solution or how to communicate what I see to continue effective communication. Jed Patton who is an interpreter for over 15 years and a certified trainer for Crucial Conversations, will explore those difficult interpreting moments and tools we have to navigate when an assignment can get a little hairy. Through guided discussions we will implement the concepts into real world situations. By completing the workshop you will be better prepared to recognize the part you play in situations and in a caring way address the crucial issues.
