Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.

Why 'Complete Interpreter'? Because you're not just a translation machine, you're also a person and a business owner, and I hope to help you take a 360 view of yourself and share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, use of target language, and marketing.

This episode is for interpreter trainers.

I've tried to think about which approaches I think are successful in the classroom, and which are likely to yield less good results:

- telling rather than showing

- never moving on from the 'what' to the 'why' and 'how' when giving feedback

- taking too long over feedback

- making each class a test

Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!

This episode is dedicated to interpreters who work into a B language ('retourists').

Based on my experience of coaching retourists, I've drawn up a list of approaches that I think don't necessary yield the best results:

- not using intonation strategically

-not doing enough language enhancement

- not doing any B > B practice

- focusing too much on vocabulary to the detriment of interpreting technique

Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!

This episode is dedicated to creating a stress management strategy ahead of an important exam, e.g. the EU's interinstitutional accreditation test, or the UN test for freelances.

DISCLAIMER: I am neither a doctor nor a psychologist. My background is in personal fitness training and nutrition. Where I suggest exercise, diet changes, or supplements, please exercise common sense and consult your doctor first.

I have added chapter markers so you can find your way around. Here are the aspects I've addressed:

• The four pillars of health, without which stress management techniques are a sticking plaster
• identifying stressors: drainers and nourishers
• motivation
• habituation
• stress management techniques for stressful situations
• mindset
• on the day
• summary: creating rituals

If you'd like more detail on the techniques I mention in the podcast, or you want to discover more powerful mind/body techniques, you can access my e-course here.
