Community interpreters are still adjusting to the rise in remote interpreting caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals who were satisfied with their in-person interpreting assignments have had to adapt to the demands of an increasingly virtual world. Change is hard and adapting to a new interpreting reality is no exception. Furthermore, numerous community interpreters have had to make the transition to routine remote interpreting with limited understanding of how to serve their clients and retain the interpersonal connection created through in-person interpreting. This webinar will explore how individual interpreters can incorporate interpersonal elements of in-person interpreting in their new virtual or hybrid reality. Change is not easy. Join us to learn how you can advocate for yourself and the profession, improve overall job satisfaction, and increase career longevity. Learning Objectives: After attending this webinar, the participant will be able to: 1. Recognize that shifting the perception of interpreters from interchangeable tools to human beings who are valuable assets to the encounter starts at an individual level. 2. Learn strategies to humanize remote interpreting encounters with each interpreting assignment. 3. Understand the importance of healthy boundaries in the workplace and learn how to advocate for what you need to improve your working conditions.
