Webinar by Amanda R. Smith
Are you ready to transform how you support up-and-coming interpreters? This webinar explores how to integrate a mentoring mindset into the dynamic world of coaching. Coaching isn’t just mentoring—it’s about guiding interpreters toward self-directed growth while tapping into your rich experience in a whole new way. Discover the “why” behind your coaching style, craft powerful questions, and refine your listening and analysis skills to help mentees uncover their potential. Learn how to blend mentoring principles with coaching tools to elevate the profession and make a lasting impact on the next generation of interpreters.
This workshop is your opportunity to evolve your mentoring toolkit into a coaching powerhouse. Don’t miss the chance to sharpen your skills, raise the bar for the interpreting field, and inspire others to do the same.
