You probably know that I'm a huge fan of remote si You probably know that I'm a huge fan of remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) - it's affordable, flexible, and only requires a stable connection and your favourite headphones!

But what about some other commonly used forms of interpreting? 🤔

🎧 Simultaneous interpreting is not to be confused with remote simultaneous interpreting! This is when I interpret into a microphone as the speaker talks. The audience members needing interpretation wear headphones allowing them to hear me - they usually don’t see me, because I work from a soundproof interpreting booth. 🤫

Because interpreting requires so much concentration, my colleague and I will switch every 30 minutes or so to continue providing the best possible interpretation!

🎙 Conversely, in consecutive interpreting, I'll be on stage or at a podium in front of the audience. The speaker and I will take turns talking - I wait for them to pause and then interpret what they said.
This obviously increases the length of time it takes for the message to be delivered, so it is usually better-suited to shorter speeches!

And similarly to simultaneous interpreting, my colleague and I will switch approximately every 30 minutes to keep providing the best interpretation.

Thinking of starting something new? A new client, Thinking of starting something new? A new client, a new investment, a new business venture?

What's holding you back? 💭

Spend just two minutes giving this some thought. (If you have a pen and pencil to hand to get your thoughts down on paper, so much the better)! ✍️

Then take a moment to think about how you can overcome these thoughts. If you're afraid of the risk, what can you do to ease into your plans and make them feel less 'all or nothing'? For example, if you're concerned about finance, can you cut back on certain things in your lifestyle, or even set up new income streams?

Consider what's in your way, and then work on removing those obstacles: because 'oops' is better than 'what if'. Don't leave yourself wondering - you deserve more! 💖

Absolutely delighted to share this lovely testimon Absolutely delighted to share this lovely testimonial from Marcus Orlovsky of the Bryanston Square Foundation. 

"I wanted to thank you so very much for helping convert my English to be interesting for the Italian audience today at Carlton House Terrace. It was a real pleasure working with you and I hope that you, like me, found that we worked well as a team. Your work is so crucial and I placed all my trust in your ability to understand what I was trying to say and position it in a way to convey both the literal and emotional meaning. I thank you enormously for this.”

 It's always rewarding to know that our hard work is appreciated and makes a difference. Understanding not only the words but the emotion and intention behind them is crucial to effective communication, especially across different languages and cultures. Thank you Marcus for your kind words and trust in us!

As interpreters, I think we've all experienced mom As interpreters, I think we've all experienced moments encountering words with some very different meanings when heard in different languages! 🤭

For example, did you know the word 'dai' in Italian means an encouragement you might shout to your friends? Any English speakers in earshot who hear your cheering might interpret it quite differently! 😱

As an interpreter, my work doesn't begin and end at linguistic skills. 🎙 

Along with a deep understanding of multiple languages, I have to think on my feet, understand cultural differences, and have strong social skills - to be able to smooth over any potential unfortunate situations like the above!

What linguistic similarities and differences have you come across in your travels? And to my interpreting colleagues, have you ever had to work through a situation like this with your clients?

Hello everyone 🙋‍♀️ Another year has qu Hello everyone 🙋‍♀️
 
Another year has quickly sped by and as always, I’m so grateful to mark another birthday and take the time to reflect on the journey I’ve made over the past year. 

And as I blow out the candles on my cake, I won’t just be making wishes, I’ll be setting new intentions for the year ahead. For September and this coming year, my focus will be directed towards exploring new strategies and ways to work with my clients, building brand reputation and loyalty, gaining a better understanding of customers, moving my business forward, and predicting future trends.

I have been lucky to have had some incredible assignments this year and met people whose passion and purpose will remain with me. Companies including @Ideandum and @Klaxoon, for whom working was an absolute pleasure due to the uplifting, positive personalities of their staff - their enthusiasm was contagious!

And of course, I have my new office assistant here now, although he is not particularly quiet nor tidy and is possibly creating even more work for me! I am delighted to introduce you all to George, our highly spirited Cocker Spaniel puppy, who has joined our family.

So, here’s to setting new goals, learning more and continuing to pursue excellence. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey so far – your support and encouragement mean the world to me.

What will you be doing with the last days of the s What will you be doing with the last days of the summer months? ☀️

Autumn is a time of change, and I like using this period to reflect on my goals and what I've
achieved this year. 🍁

This period can sometimes feel like the year is drawing to a close - but remember that it's far
from over! We all have some goals we haven't been able to work on as much as we'd like to, but
there's still plenty of opportunity to achieve so much before the year is out.

Take this moment to remember there's still plenty of time for you to carry out those plans! ⌛

Ready... steady... re-start for September! This Ready... steady... re-start for September!


This must be one of my favourite times of the year. ❤️ Whilst January may seem like the typical time to take stock and start afresh, there's something about September that makes it feel like the perfect moment to reset and refocus on the rest of the year ahead. 🗓️

As the summer draws to a close, the autumn air is filled with a sense of the new - change, excitement and optimism. 🍁 The perfect time for businesses, including my own, to refocus on their goals so we can finish 2023 strong.

❤️Lady Diana, Regina di Cuori e Principessa de ❤️Lady Diana, Regina di Cuori e Principessa del Galles, è stata la mia Stella Polare.❤️

L’incidente di Lady Diana  Spencer, quel lontano 31 agosto 1997, ha avuto un significato profondo nella mia vita.  È in quell’occasione che ho ricevuto la telefonata della Rai per un incarico. 🙈 Ciò significava non solo la partecipazione a un dolore che univa tutto il mondo ma anche la capacità di riuscire a mantenere il giusto distacco per fare il mio lavoro con grande professionalità e senso di responsabilità. 😬

Raccontare l’umanità e la grandezza di Lady D attraverso le parole di Michael Cole, portavoce di Mohammed Al Fayed - papa' di Dodi in un’intervista per la trasmissione di Corrado Augias ha segnato l’inizio della mia carriera.

Da lei ho imparato il potere di un sorriso gentile e del senso di umiltà.🌹
Il primo mi consente di entrare immediatamente in empatia con le persone, il secondo mi ricorda che non c’è limite a quanto posso migliorare e conoscere. 😉

Dolore e Gioia a volte si confondono nel mio lavoro, quando l’incarico è prestigioso ma i contenuti da trattare difficili e coinvolgenti, lo stress è forte e una valanga di emozioni mi assale. A volte mi serve qualche minuto per respirare e recuperare quella lucidità che mi consentiranno di mantenere un alto livello di professionalità.

Succede anche a voi? 🤔

Il ❤️ della Città Eterna Situato tra due del Il ❤️ della Città Eterna

Situato tra due delle piazze più famose di Roma, Piazza di Spagna e Piazza del Popolo, l'Hotel de Russie è uno degli hotel di lusso più prestigiosi della Città Eterna.

Una delle mete preferite di artisti e scrittori, stelle dello spettacolo e politici, nel 1917 l'Hotel de Russie venne definito un "paradiso in terra" dal poeta francese Jean Cocteau e questo appellativo è valido ancora oggi.

È stato un piacere ritornare a visitare  il meraviglioso Giardino Segreto mediterraneo terrazzato, con i suoi cespugli di rose, gli aranci e i pini imponenti, e ascoltare il mormorio della piccola cascata che scende in tre ninfei per scoprire di la magia di questo luogo incantato.

Hotel de Russie was dubbed “paradise on earth” by French poet Jean Cocteau in 1917, and the accolade still stands today. 

The atmospheric Secret Garden is an enchanting location for open-air functions, receptions and conferences.

Hotel De Russie is perfect for both corporate and private dining events.

✈️🪸☀️Inspired by a recent LinkedIn news ✈️🪸☀️Inspired by a recent LinkedIn newsletter, I found myself reflecting on the beautiful flexibility of summer routines and the new perspectives they bring. 

This summer, indeed, has unfolded a vibrant mosaic of experiences for me. 

Being in Syracuse, the chief Greek city of ancient Sicily, I've found the rhythm of my professional life organically syncing with the leisurely pulse of summer. 

My hometown, with its stunning coastline, has always been a treat for the eyes. ✨
The meeting at the sea early in the morning, the casual chats with digital nomads from all over the world, the exchange of valuable tips, the bond of shared experiences - it's networking in its most enjoyable form. And did I mention all this happens while sunbathing? 😉

'Workcations' are definitely in trend, but I've realised it's more than just about changing the location of work. 

As the LinkedIn newsletter suggested, summertime does bring a refresh to our work routines and our approach to professional life. 

It's about embracing a different perspective, reshaping your thinking, and finding joy in these new encounters. 

And I must say, I am thoroughly enjoying this blend of work, networking, and the bliss of sun-kissed Sicilian mornings.

So here's to embracing change, celebrating flexibility, and making the most of these precious summer moments! ☀️

How are you mixing up work and summer? Are you also riding the 'workcation' wave? #workcation #syracuse #interpreter #networking
How do I balance work and life as an interpreter? How do I balance work and life as an interpreter?


If there's one tightrope walk I've been mastering over the years, it's balancing work with life. We all know the interpreting industry doesn't exactly come with a 9-to-5 tag. The unpredictable hours, the 'just one more assignment' mindset, the last-minute preps... Oh, the thrill of it!

But here's the thing: as much as I adore my profession, it's important for me to remember that there's a world beyond the booth, the translations, and the late-night prepping. A world filled with laughter, hobbies, families, and those little moments that make life... well, LIFE.

Finding that balance wasn't always easy. There were times I'd be juggling a complex assignment while dreaming of that weekend getaway. But every stumble taught me a lesson about setting boundaries, knowing when to say 'no', and understanding the value of 'me' time in keeping the creative juices flowing.

What really worked for me was establishing clear lines between my professional and personal life. I started scheduling my work, yes, even the 'exciting' assignments. I made a pact with myself - beyond a certain hour, work emails and texts would have to wait till the next day. 🕰️

And guess what? The world didn't end! My clients understood, and my work didn't suffer. In fact, I felt more energised, more focused, and more passionate about my assignments when I returned to them after a good break.

So, to everyone struggling work-life balance, I want to say this: It's okay to take a break. It's okay to prioritise your personal time. And most importantly, it's okay to seek balance. 😉

I’m curious, how do you folks balance work and life?

Happy Friday, everyone! I wanted to share with y Happy Friday, everyone!
 
I wanted to share with you a brilliant event at which I recently worked, located at one of London's most iconic buildings, the Gherkin. 
 
From the moment you step into the Gherkin, you are met with a blend of modernity and elegance that is truly unique. Its distinct structure, reminiscent of a gigantic glass cucumber rising into the sky, provides an almost futuristic vibe. Yet inside, it's all about style and comfort.
 
I had the privilege to be introduced to a phenomenal speaker, Renato Mosca, Founder and Senior Partner of Training Luxury, who held the audience captive with his engaging and motivational style.
 
Renato, in his inimitable way, shared fascinating stories about
luxury and beauty, even discussing how the advanced derma sector could borrow key ideas from the luxury industry. His insights were eye-opening, revealing how these concepts could transform how patients perceive the industry, ultimately attracting more business and fostering loyalty.
 
Amidst the excitement and flurry of activity, he graciously shared the highlights of his speech with me. From captivating anecdotes to a
tribute to the legendary Coco Chanel, and even a tantalising mention of the
elusive “potion of immortality,” Renato’s insights were priceless. 
 
This pre-speech briefing was hugely valuable to me as an interpreter.
It allowed me to build a mental sequence of images linked to his speech,
ensuring that my translation into English truly captured the essence of his
message. 
 
As a member of the project management team, ensuring the flawless
execution of the event from an AV and interpreting standpoint was hugely
important to me, so witnessing the overwhelmingly positive reactions from our diverse guests left me in awe. 
 
They couldn't stop complimenting Renato's top-notch speech, a testament to his incredible ability to engage an audience.
 
Being part of this event was a fantastic experience, and I will cherish the memories for years to come!

Isn’t it brilliant when a seemingly casual email Isn’t it brilliant when a seemingly casual email enquiry turns into an inspiring and truly wonderful assignment?
 
Last year, I received an email from BAFTA asking me to interpret for an interview they were recording with a film director.

I jumped at the opportunity, but in my heart, I presumed the request had been sent to many other interpreters and agencies and they wouldn’t follow up the contact.

However, to my surprise, and happiness, they did – and I was thrilled!

The interview was with the acclaimed Italian film director and screenwriter, Giuseppe Tornatore, who is perhaps most well-known for his Oscar-winning movie, Cinema Paradiso. It was to focus on Giuseppe’s documentary Ennio about Italian composer, Ennio Morricone.
 
The comment I received from the director, Ian, straight after the interview put a huge smile on my face:

 “It was a pleasure meeting you too. No feedback beyond my thinking you did a sterling job. I am always amazed at the skill in translating live. Not an easy task. I especially liked your bringing Giuseppe 's humour through in your conversation.”

I was also delighted to receive super feedback from Kyle (visit my website to access the article)

 So, thank you, BAFTA, for bringing me this wonderful assignment which truly brightened up my month! What work do you have coming up, that you expect will bring a smile to your face?
