SUMMARY:Listening and Communication: Keys to Resolving Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Learn about conflict\, its sources\, and the strategies for managing it in your translation or interpreting work.\nWe have all been there at one point: a client is unhappy with your work\, you are having a disagreement with a colleague\, or\, perhaps\, you must deliver feedback that is far from positive. What is the best way to manage situations that can cause discord and hurt somebody’s feelings\, or worse—ruin the professional relationship? \nConflict is a naturally occurring phenomenon in life and at work. In fact\, when there is no conflict\, relationships can get stagnant. While we try to avoid conflict\, it can serve as opportunities for growth and change if managed correctly. \nThe speaker will dissect the primary conflict resolution skill—listening—and its critical role in the communication process. You will learn how to understand positions and interests as well as learn what factors act as barriers to listening and effective communication. Finally\, you will get a chance to practice active listening skills. \nAfter this webinar\, you will feel better equipped to resolve challenging situations and have difficult conversations in your professional life. \nThis webinar was organized in collaboration with ATA’s Medical Division. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nUnderstand conflict\, its sources\, and strategies for managing it\nAppreciate the importance and complexity of listening in conflict resolution\nHave difficult conversations with colleagues\, supervisors\, and managers\nConsider the differences between positions and interests in conflict resolution\nPractice active listening\n\nAbout the Presenter\nEllen F. Kandell is an attorney with over 30 years of diverse legal experience in the public and private sectors. Her company\, Alternative Resolutions\, LLC\, provides mediation\, group facilitation\, and training to associations and nonprofits\, government agencies\, businesses\, professional corporations\, and educational institutions.

SUMMARY:Identifying Your Target Audience: Why Niche Markets Can Boost Your Interpreting Business
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to define your ideal interpreting client and create a laser-focused strategy to stand out in today’s saturated market.\nIf you could define your ideal interpreting client\, what would they be like? What type of customer are they? What do they specialize in? With whom do they do business? \nQuestions like these will help you narrow down the type of clients you like working with. Find the answers\, and you will create a laser-focused strategy for the target audience that you are trying to connect with. \nMore importantly\, asking these questions is a first step to scaling down. While it may seem scary\, scaling down does not mean losing business: it means being more focused and intentional about your business. When you’re able to focus on a niche market\, you open up a whole new world of opportunities—⁠opportunities you\, perhaps\, would have missed because you were focused on doing business with anyone. \nWhether you are studying\, starting out as an interpreter\, or simply looking for ways to differentiate yourself\, identifying your niche market is a step forward to being more visible. \nJoin this webinar to learn how to find your differentiating factor(s) that will help you stand out even in a saturated market. \nWhat will you learn?\n\nWhat a niche market is\nWhat is the power of niche markets for your interpreting business\nWhat communication strategies you can use to connect with your audience\nWhy you should focus on quality vs. quantity\nWhat is your differentiating factor\n\nAbout the Presenter\nMireya Pérez has been a professional interpreter for over 10 years. She began her interpreting career as a certified medical interpreter after obtaining her certification from NBCMI. Currently\, she works as a K-12 school district interpreter/translator in Southern California\, where she has led the efforts in the development of district-wide systems and procedures to help brand the role of the interpreter and translator in education.

SUMMARY:The Magic of Automation: AutoHotkey for Non-Programmers\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:Learn how automation can give you more time to focus on what you love most about your translation and interpreting business.\nSo much of our day is spent on repetitive tasks—copying terms from a PDF document to an Excel worksheet\, finding repetitions in your translation environment tool\, changing capitalization\, and much more. If only there was a better way to do these things so that you had more time for the creative part of translation and interpreting! \nEnter AutoHotkey\, a free tool that makes automating computer tasks seem like magic. \nIn the first part of a two-part webinar series\, you will be introduced to the basics of AutoHotkey. You will learn how to create your own macros in this software to combine steps that can be triggered with a shortcut. \nIn the second part of a two-part webinar\, you will further explore what is possible with AutoHotkey. We will build on the content discussed in Part 1 and take your automation to the next level\, while still keeping it simple enough so that you do not need any previous programming experience. \nYou will then be able to do the all-too-familiar tasks much quicker\, like typing a couple of letters that expand into a full phrase\, transferring copied text from one program to another\, and taking your favorite CAT tools to the next level. \nTime is money\, and now you can learn how to save time to focus on doing what you love and growing your translation and interpreting business. \nWhat will you learn?\n\nWhat you can do with AutoHotkey\nHow to create scripts for text expansion and glossary creation\nHow to create scripts for CAT tools\nHow to automate mouse clicks\nHow to quickly open commonly used folders and programs\nHow to use loops to run an action sequence several times\nHow to find help when building your macros\n\nSpecial Notes\n\nAutoHotkey does not work with Macs.\nThis is a 2-hour webinar presented in 2 parts.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nNora Díaz earned a BA in linguistics and translation in 1990. Since then\, she has worked as an English-to-Spanish translator and interpreter in a variety of fields\, specializing in scientific and technical translation. As a technology enthusiast interested in enhancing productivity\, she enjoys exploring tools that facilitate the work of translators and sharing her findings with others through her blog\, videos\, and webinars.
