Know Thyself: Life Coaching Tools for Interpreters (0.25 CEUs)
RID Activity Number: WRKSP113690GDYA Activity Code: 0238.0625.07 | taught by Jeffrey & April Dunlap
Interpreting is more than a profession—it’s a calling that demands emotional clarity, cultural agility, and personal alignment.
In this workshop, a certified life coach joins a mid-career interpreter for an honest and powerful conversation about navigating burnout, adapting to generational language shifts, and rediscovering career purpose. Using tools like CliftonStrengths, the Enneagram, and the Ikigai method, the session offers practical frameworks to help interpreters evaluate their work-life balance, career alignment, and emotional resilience.
Participants will learn how to match assignments to their personality strengths, recognize signs of compassion fatigue, and develop personal rituals that support long-term sustainability in the field. Whether you’re just starting out or navigating a career transition, this course provides tools to reconnect with your “why” and build a healthier, more intentional professional life.
