Reinventing Your Localization Career

Navigate Change with (Dis)Comfort and Resilience

Despite the challenges you’ve overcome to establish yourself as a translator and language expert, there seems to be a never-ending need to change, right? The client’s budget changes, sending you less work. The newest project requires you to rebuild a translation memory. Not to mention, artificial intelligence (AI) is supposedly going to replace humans, and you already notice clients who think that they don’t need translation...

Change is inevitable, and change is uncomfortable. Particularly in a polycrisis, a career as a translator or linguist requires adaptability and evolution.

Created by a localization team-manager turned professional, certified coach, this course will
  • explore the traits of resilience,
  • support you to continuously adapt your personal and professional identities, and
  • help you meet the demands of the ever-changing world.

Don't miss the chance to challenge yourself!
