Speaking of Translation Podcast – May 2019: How to Learn from Colleagues

Eve is the co-host with Corinne McKay of the long-running podcast Speaking of Translation, focusing on translation and the business of translation. 

In this episode, Eve and Corinne discuss how to learn from and share information with colleagues, in a way that is both helpful and appropriate. How can newbies learn from colleagues without being invasive? What is (and is not) appropriate to ask from colleagues? How can colleagues learn from each other through peer-to-peer professional development sessions? When should you offer to pay someone who gives you advice? And how can experienced colleagues give back to the profession through mentoring?
