Workshop description:

This interactive workshop is designed as an experiential and potentially transformational examination of wholeheartedness as it relates to interpreter effectiveness. We will look at the influence of professional stress conditions on interpreter well-being and explore what is at stake for individuals and for the interpreting profession. Participants will identify factors that build on, or degrade their unique sense of resilience.
