​DESCRIPTION:

​As interpreters we find ourselves thrust into the center of other’s most profound, intimate and stressful life moments. Can a collaborative relationship be developed quickly with clear thought and purpose in what the other person needs? Yes! In this workshop attendees will learn ways to recognize and respond to another’s personality and communication preferences. We will utilize role play to learn communication methods that will quickly and effectively connect us in collaboration with colleagues and clients.

​a. Identify the four basic personality types

​b. Bridge personality into communication styles

​c. Apply communication styles to collaborative role-play
