Coworking for BSL–English Interpreters: Building Effective Teamwork in Remote and Face-to-Face Settings

This session looks at what effective coworking involves for BSL–English interpreters in both remote and face-to-face settings. We’ll link current National Occupational Standards to real practice, explore strategies for preparation, communication and support, and introduce simple reflective tools to help you review your teamwork. The session is suitable for interpreters who feel unsure about co-working, those with limited experience, and those who want a refresher on good practice.

Moving Forward Safely: From Imposter to Confident Professional

Many interpreters and translators experience self-doubt or imposter syndrome at some point in their careers. This interactive workshop with Jill Henshaw explores why these feelings arise and how they influence decision-making and confidence in professional settings. Together, we’ll look at practical strategies to manage self-doubt, make clearer choices about work, and strengthen professional confidence. You’ll leave with a better understanding of imposter syndrome, tools to support reflective practice, and ideas to help you move forward with greater assurance and balance in your career.
