Cookin' With Humor - 1

Professional Studies - 0.75 CEUs 

Interpreters are GREAT!!! No other profession requires a person to know something about everything. No other profession requires a person to be exposed to a birth, funeral, E.R., lawyer's appointment, therapy session, classroom lecture on Sex Roles and a meeting at a bank for a home loan ALL IN THE SAME DAY!!! Is it any wonder that, as humans, sometimes things don't go exactly as we plan.

This hysterical presentation is a collection of humorous stories from working interpreters and consumers of interpreting services and will have you rolling on the floor while earning your CEUs. There are stories related to nightmare consumers and interpreters, clothing, the things interpreters say (unintentionally), preparation (or lack thereof) for assignments, the unpredictability of working with kids, a look in those bags interpreters bring with them to their assignments, and so much more. Behind the laughter, there is a message and a lesson. Come join Peter Cook (as only Peter can) tell countless stories and collect your CEUs in such an enjoyable way.

To obtain CEU credit, the mandatory activities will ask for you to practice some sign-to-voice work, to reflect on some of your experiences as a working interpreter, and to examine some situations - for better or for worse - to see what was done well and what could have been improved upon.

This workshop has two parts. The parts can be taken separately. This is Part 1. View part 2 HERE.
