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 target language, and marketing.

This episode is dedicated to creating a stress management strategy ahead of an important exam, e.g. the EU's interinstitutional accreditation test, or the UN test for freelances.

DISCLAIMER: I am neither a doctor nor a psychologist. My background is in personal fitness training and nutrition. Where I suggest exercise, diet changes, or supplements, please exercise common sense and consult your doctor first.

I have added chapter markers so you can find your way around. Here are the aspects I've addressed:

  • The four pillars of health, without which stress management techniques are a sticking plaster
  • identifying stressors: drainers and nourishers
  • motivation
  • habituation
  • stress management techniques for stressful situations
  • mindset
  • on the day
  • summary: creating rituals

If you'd like more detail on the techniques I mention in the podcast, or you want to discover more powerful mind/body techniques, you can access my e-course here.
