Listen "5: Rocking the boat with Jonathan Downie"
Episode Synopsis
If you don't know Jonathan yet, you're in for a treat. Find out about his PhD and his upcoming book "The successful interpreter" - and many other things, including monkeys, church interpreters and chocolate teapots.
Quotes I liked - very shareable!
"A good interpreter is someone who can't get enough information about whatever."
"We need to care about the outcome of the event that we're at."
"If we play the 'invisible interpreter' card for too much longer, we will be replaced and it will be our own fault."
"Let's work to together to improve the value we add to our profession."
"I almost wish that every interpreter would do a PhD."
"If you could change one thing about your practice now, what would you change?"
"Until someone asks you an uncomfortable question, you're probably not growing."
