This full day workshop will introduce the concept of emotional intelligence and the importance of emotions and emotion management in translation and interpreting work. A coaching approach will be adopted to provide participants with space and time to reflect on their professional experiences and to identify effective positive coping strategies for the workplace. With a mixture of theory and practical exercises, the workshop will enable participants to draw on and enhance their emotion management skills. Topics to be addressed include empathic listening, conflict management, and promoting positive emotions. Participants will be encouraged to think about and prioritise their mental health and wellbeing.
This event will be taking place online.
