SynopsisBased on more than 200 hours of coaching tour guides and interpreters, this is the first book to provide the profession of interpretation with a more precise understanding of what it takes to coach others in a way that will enhance interpretation skills and, ultimately, the audience experience., Performing the role of a coach for interpreters is more than just knowing about interpretation theory and skills. It is about understanding relationships, supporting the agenda of those being coached, listening for cues, and being an accountability partner. In the field of interpretation, it is not unusual for the role of a coach and a mentor to be confused with one another. An experienced interpreter is prepared to share his or her professional wisdom and experiences with new interpreters. Yet, just like interpretation, the key to effective coaching is to understand the audience, which in this case is the one being coached, known as the client. Based on more than 200 hours of coaching tour guides and interpreters, this is the first book to provide the profession of interpretation with a more precise understanding of what it takes to coach others in a way that will enhance interpretation skills and, ultimately, the audience experience.
