"Show What You Know" Presented by Sharon Neumann Solow

  • 25 Apr 2015
  • 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM
  • Chemeketa Community College: 4000 Lancaster Drive Northeast, Salem OR: Building 3, Rm 118-119

Workshop Description:

This workshop focuses on the development of confidence in our work so that we can be as effective as possible. We will study techniques that support the growth of self-esteem, confidence, and poise. Participants will apply these principles in clear, practical ways. Several strategies will be addressed including: deliberate communication and terminology, self-talk, dealing with resistance, and emotional and physical techniques. This session provides tools for interpreters to become healthier in their self-view and opportunities to examine their confidence and strengths to reach a new level of comfort in their work.

Educational Objectives:

1. Identify the differences between oneself, the work, and conscious communication;

2. Practice positive self talk;

3. Identify and discuss emotional and physical techniques to face resistance in an effective manner and to deal with other challenges to a successful interpretation;

4. Discuss 5 positive environmental influences that increase opportunities for successful interactions and interpretations.
