Interp. WS: CYC: Change Your Energy, Change Your Life
2024-09-01 08:00 - 17:00 | MO
Workshop/Course Description:
As interpreters we want to deliver the message ethically and neutrally. This
course teaches us how our energy affects the environment; positive or negative. And teaches techniques to
avoid absorbing negative energy in our environments and how positive energy maintains our neutrality. This
workshop is an enlightening and inspiring ride that reveals 10 rules for approaching life and work drawing
inspiration from “The Energy Bus.” No one goes through life without facing ethical challenges. The
outcome is determined by our energy – positive or negative. Using positive, forward energy we can impact
the experience for all consumers (deaf, interpreter, hearing). Participants will learn practical techniques
about how their energy affects environments and outcomes. This transformative workshop is designed to
equip students with the tools and mindset needed for long-term success. You will be guided through
interactive exercises with expert mentoring.
Educational Objectives:
1. Develop a deeper understanding of the impact of mindset and energy.
2. Acquire practical tools and strategies inspired by “The Energy Bus” to objectively identify and filter energy.
3. Explore ethical dilemmas in a supportive community where participants can exchange insights, shared experiences, and collectively brainstorm solutions to common
challenges.
4. Empower community members to implement sustainable practices that promote longevity, fulfillment, and access.
Knowledge Level: Little/none

Interp. WS: Is It Really My Job? And other Ethical Questions
2024-09-07 09:00 - 12:00 | Meeting Space, 920 1st Capitol, St. Charles, MO, 63301, United States
Workshop/Course Description:
The definition of our job can be clear if we only look at the linguistics role that we serve.
However, without codes of conduct, professionalism, specific roles within context, soft skills,
problem solving, diffusionary tactics, and the ability to explain our job to others… our real and
complete job ends up a little hollow. In this workshop we will explore the reasons why and
resources to improve how we ethically determine what is ACTUALLY the full view of our
profession.
With a mix of lecture, group discussion, and small group case studies, participants will leave
feeling empowered to elevate their day-to-day work.
Educational Objectives
• Review laws and standard practices that affect an interpreter’s daily decisions outside of
the linguistic interpreting process.
• Learn and discuss soft skills that would ease many everyday work situations
• Discuss how to avoid hindering the goals of our work environments
• Learn how to ethically work with colleagues and agencies.
• Discuss real case studies and how we can ethically use what we’ve learned to address
possible approaches.
*The goal of the workshop is to look at difficult case studies in the last third of the workshop. Attendees
will use the laws reviewed, CPC standard practices, and an approach to soft skills/interpersonal skills to
ethically discuss all possible avenues for an interpreter to take, how that will affect all parties involved,
and all future interpreters entering into that situation.
