Is your practice lazy or deliberate?

Sophie Llewellyn Smith
About this episode

Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.

Why 'Complete Interpreter'? Because you're not just a translation machine, you're also a person and a business owner, and I hope to help you take a 360 view of yourself and share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about deliberate practice: what it is and how to do it!

Here's the link to the paper by Elisabet Tiselius, titled 'Deliberate Practice: the Unicorn of Interpreting Studies'.

Andy Gillies's book, containing all manner of exercises to work on every aspect of your interpreting, is Conference Interpreting: a Student's Practice Book.

And Ericsson's paper:
K.A. Ericsson, R.Th. Krampe, C. Tesch-Römer

The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance

Psychological Review, 100 (1993), pp. 363-406, 10.1037/0033-295X.100.3.363

Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!
