The Entrepreneurial Linguist: Lessons from Business School
| Presenter: | Judy Jenner | |
| Duration: | 60 minutes | |
| CE Point(s): | 1 | |
| Availability: | On Demand | |
| Handout: | Lessons from Business School |
Linguists excel in the humanities, but most have little business training. This webinar will show linguists how to behave like entrepreneurs. Using the case-study method adopted by many prominent U.S. business schools, real-life examples will be used to illustrate presentation points and offer specific advice. No high-level terminology will be used.
This webinar will focus on working with direct clients and marketing in an online world. The presentation will cover:
- Finance/economics—pricing, supply and demand
- Accounting—decreasing expenses
- Entrepreneurship—generating new business, networking
- Negotiating—tips and tricks
