Freelancer Success Summit
When it comes to learning, there is a rich recent history of coming together online and benefiting from webinars, videoconferences or simple videos. Learning is not subject to lockdown.
At the Freelancer Success Summit on April 7-9, organized specifically to help you through this critical period, we'll be offering a rich and varied array of learning, designed to empower you to achieve your business objectives and fulfil your potential. In light of the challenges we're all experiencing, the content will focus not only on business but also on practical concerns and wellbeing
In today's issue we showcase some of the speakers and topics. Programme times are to be confirmed.
All free of charge of course, on ProZ.com/TV.


"Rivers in the Desert"
Over the past few months, the vast majority of translators and interpreters have seen their businesses hit hard by the effects of COVID-19. This may seem like the most challenging period in recent memory for our sector and for many, it is.
"Rivers in the Desert: Growing a Business in a Crisis" is the full title of a response presented by interpreter, published author and experienced presenter Jonathan Downie.
A no-holds-barred, myth-busting and honest account of how a business bounced back from the brink, and how crisis was transformed into opportunity.

In search of equanimity
Crises like COVID-19 can exhaust our mental, emotional and physical reserves, leaving us struggling to cope. This special summit will devote time and energy to addressing this vital issue. And we'll be in excellent hands.
Flor Montero is a Mexican Conference Interpreter with more than 23 years of experience in the field. But she is also a psychotherapist and hypnologist, who combines the booth with her private practice.
In the opening session, we will connect with our highest intention to seek social connection in this summit and throughout the COVID-19 crisis, while doing some breathing exercises and an equanimity practice.

Working from home
Many translators are used to working from home, but others will find themselves in a new situation, particularly if they've been at co-working centres up till now.
This session by familiar face (and voice!) Paul Urwin will focus on the benefits, opportunities and challenges of this way of working, and will contain tips even for the most seasoned freelancer.

Mindfulness and yoga
Many of us in our normal working weeks can barely find time to keep up with work, family needs, and the practical requirements of modern life.
This enforced period of lockdown in so many countries around the world may just offer us an opportunity to take stock.
This mindfulness and yoga workshop for freelance translators, led by Elena Jiménez Alvarez will help you find your purpose, identify your niche and define your fields of specialisation. Stay healthy, achieve your business goals, serve people, and reach your full potential.
