Lost in your emotions? Coping strategies for emotional self-regulation

Presentation in:

Whether it is the anxiety caused by tight deadlines, the insecurity facing a complex project, the despair of having too many projects at hand, the anger after a negative feedback by the client, the frustration because of a project that hasn’t gone ahead, the life of a translator/interpreter is full emotions that have to be regulated. For when not regulated, what touches us can target our work and our personal life.

Passionate about affective intelligence, my proposal is therefore putting into perspective the main affective fields in our profession, and suggesting coping strategies to achieve a healthier pulsing in our lives (professional and personal), allowing us to be affected but not overwhelmed by the different stressors.
