Professional development that actually develops professionals.
Interpreter development sessions are designed for interpreters who value learning that’s practical, engaging, and built to last. We create space to think, try, reflect, and grow, building actual skills, not just clocking training hours.
Based on educational frameworks and guided by experience, each session uses outcomes-based, active learning methods that equip participants to apply insights to their professional practice right away.
Sessions are available for conferences, professional development events, and team trainings, offered remotely or in person.

Business Practices in Interpreting
In this workshop interpreters will be challenged to reframe ethical decision making within a framework of values, morals, and ethical principles and will explore how each of these distinct concepts converge at moments requiring professional decision making and discretion. After construction, we will collaboratively utilize this framework to evaluate internal decision making processes, and create arguments in defense of professional decisions.
