Are you eager to talk about your interpreting, but not sure how to get started?
Do you believe that professional growth requires reflection?
Come to a conversation with a colleague who is a PM practitioner. Process Mediation is premised on a strengths-based dialogic approach which meets each practitioner where they are. It is rooted in the belief that interpreters have the ability to examine their decision-making in order to explore the things they want to and can improve.
Sharing your thinking in the presence of a skilled listener can provide a fertile opportunity for that introspection and examination. With a colleague who listens to understand and asks questions that further the uncovering, new insights and directions emerge. You will explore the “whys” of your decisions, gaining understanding that can be applied to future interpreting situations.
For each Process Mediation session you will either:
- Come to the session with something in particular you want to address in your interpreting. Your thoughts will lead this interaction. You will discuss what is relevant to you. Or,
- Bring a recorded sample of your interpreting, from any realm of your choosing. This will be viewed during the session, and will be the springboard to talk about the things that are salient to you.
How does this work?
Session length - Each session will last an average of 45 minutes.
Meeting platform - Each meeting will be via Zoom. When meeting ensure you are in a distraction-free environment with good lighting and a stable internet connection. Meetings are best attended via tablet, laptop or desktop computer.
Payment - Each session is a flat fee of $75*. Payment is due at the time of confirming your session.
Follow up - After the session BMC will send you a follow-up survey. Your input will help with possible changes and improvement to accessing the PM and will provide information about your experience with the PM itself.
Cancellations - You may cancel your session up to 48 hours prior to the scheduled date/time. Cancellations will not be refunded. Instead, you will receive a voucher for the value of the mediation that can be used toward any BMC event.
*BIPOC interpreters are invited to take advantage of scholarship funds to reduce the cost. This option appears in the scheduling process.
