Habituation: a tactic for reducing perfo...

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, use of language, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about why you should get used to exam stress 😉, or rather, how the habituation effect can attenuate your response to stress - and also, why habituation is sometimes a bad thing!

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