Interpreter's Workshop with Tim Curry
This unique (sometimes funny, sometimes serious) podcast focuses on supporting signed language interpreters in the European countries by creating a place with advice, tips, ideas, feelings and people to come together. Interpreter's Workshop with Tim Curry deals with the fact that many countries do not have education for sign language interpreters. Here we talk to sign language interpreters, teachers, and researchers, to look at the real issues and share ideas for improvement from many countries. Signed language interpreters usually work alone or in small teams. This can create a feeling of uncertainty about our work, our skills and our roles. Here is the place to connect and find certainty.

Say what?! What kind of language is that?
Yes, we need to at least know the language to interpret it. This week Sam Chew from Malaysia starts the conversation about the sign language profession there. We learn the fundamental numbers and aspects, but he tosses in a few topics that are unique to Malaysia. This is the beginning of a beautiful visit.

Gee, thanks a lot...
We don't always get a "Thank you" when interpreting. Do we need it? Does it help?
Let's have a quick chat about it.

Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies...
Today we discuss integrity and everything associated with it in our sign language interpreting profession. We sometimes think it's best to be quiet. Maybe not saying the truth is best. We would be better off not saying something, because it may be taken the wrong way or we would look inexperienced. But what does that cost us?
It's the TRUTH, really!
Summer is almost over. Time to focus on the work again. Let's get focused together. Ready?

I knew that! Oh, wait, what?!
Sometimes we forget what it is we had long after we lost it. It takes others to help us see what - could be. Debra Russell describes the evolution of the sign language profession in Canada and how her journey with WASLI taught her about the strengths of our colleagues around the world. Debra and I chat about so much more in this episode and the next to come.
"I'm a bit older than my teeth and a younger than my nose."
This is the beginning of an insightful conversation with Dr Debra Russell former WASLI (World Association of Sign Language Interpreters). This episode entails her first steps into the profession, some history of the Canadian profession, and key points about keeping meaningful relationships with our clients and fellow interpreters.
Enjoy.
I want it! It's not fair!
Sometimes we demand support for ourselves in an inappropriate way. We do not always need to advocate for our working conditions in all situations. We must pick our battles carefully to ultimately win the "war" for our fellow interpreters.
Polite, civil communication is key.

In our minds, the world revolves around us, EVEN when we know it's not true. Today's tip is that clients don't really care what you do, or what happened. Let's break it down in 10 minutes or less.

Shame on you! I'm gonna tell!
Sometimes we don't discuss opinions because they may be controversial. But this can lead us to lose the ability to think about the reasons behind these opinions or beliefs. Let's discuss some unpleasant ideas that we confront often. But let's also think about the reasons why we have these beliefs about these opinions or ideas.
What do you believe? Can you support your thoughts...
You can't hide those... judging... eyes.
Stay calm and look past the cycle of judgement, of meaningless feedback. Do not be a part of it. Today I discuss the feeling of anxiety, stress, and hesitation we feel about discussing our work. These feelings stem from an atmosphere that has been created by our profession, colleagues, the nature of our work, and sometimes even ourselves.
Write it down or you'll forget it!
Here's a tip to enhance your learning. A way to enrich our professional development directly.
It's research-based concepts that "feel" right. Do this and see the improvement. It's an old-school thought with modern applications. Who knew?!
