Training – Brain Power and Emotional Fitness

Training – Brain Power and Emotional Fitness

Interpreters often face intense and emotionally charged situations, balancing accuracy, ethics, and empathy in real-time. This workshop takes a focused look at how emotional and cognitive fatigue can affect decision-making and professional standards. Participants will explore the ethical risks that can arise when interpreters are mentally drained, and learn practical strategies to maintain emotional well-being and mental clarity.

Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this training will help you stay centered, effective, and energized.
