STEP INTO YOUR WORTH:
Valuing your Interpretation Work like a Seasoned Pro!
Have you ever:
- Accepted work even though the fee felt too low?
- Worried that if you said no, the client would not want to work with you again?
- Feared that a client would not pay your fee?
If you said yes to any of the above, you are not alone!
Many interpreters experience these situations yet aren’t sure what to do in order to generate a healthy income, leaving them feeling frustrated and insecure.
Seeing your work as a business and yourself as a business owner is imperative to creating fulfilling and lucrative work.
Join us for 30-minutes with Jen Shultz, Founder of The Non-Nine-to-Five™ to learn:
- How to see yourself as a confident and empowered business owner
- How to price your work so it is in full alignment with who you are
- How to say no and negotiate so you don’t settle for less
During Jen’s talk she will emphasize how independent contracting work is just the same as running your own business and how if you price your work with confidence, you never have to worry again.
Be sure to have a pen and paper to take notes during this not-to-be missed 30-minute presentation.

SELF ADVOCACY IN ACTION:
How to get what you need for yourself (and your profession)
Maria Perez-Chambers
At Magna Voce, we always tell our students that everything they have done before choosing the interpreter profession is their asset, and Maria Perez-Chambers is a great example of this.
Before becoming an interpreter, she spent some time as a research assistant at Cornell Medical School. Her curiosity and interest in new ventures led her to become a freelance translator of scientific documents for some leading U.S. companies.
She obtained her court interpreter certification by the Administrative Office of the US Courts and the State of Delaware in 1997. She didn't stop there.  She held a position as Delaware’s Court Interpreter Program Coordinator developing policies and procedures, and most recently was appointed as a Magistrate in the Justice of the Peace Court in Delaware.
All along she has shared her knowledge passion for interpretation in trainings and programs for interpreters and with Catalina, founded Magna Voce in 2009.
When she's not in the courtroom or teaching interpretation Maria is tending her large garden and many little two-legged creatures.
We occasionally express, or hear from others, dissatisfaction with our present professional life, whether we are unhappy with the working environment, the remuneration, our colleagues, our administrators/managers. This dissatisfaction can erode our desire to continue to work, and our perception of our profession. It may make us feel frustrated, unappreciated, or maybe even exploited!
So, what do we do about it? What have we done about it so far? How do we go about doing anything to spark change and to get what we believe we need and deserve?
We have to tune up our self-advocacy skills and integrate them into our Interpreter Persona™ so that we can meet our needs and consequently the needs of those we serve.
Our goal at the Wealth Retreat is toÂ
- introduce the concept of self-advocacy.
- introduce the key elements of self-advocacy planning.
- leave you with an idea of how to create a mini plan to start advocating for yourself.
Maria will be sharing success stories from her experience as a professional interpreter and her work as Interpreter Program Coordinator for the Administrative Office of the Courts in the State of Delaware.
