Mentoring 

Building a business that fits you.

A successful interpreting business is built on more than linguistic excellence.

It requires clarity, strong positioning and the ability to consciously shape your path as an independent professional.

I support interpreters in building a business that is not only sustainable, but aligned with who they are.

This includes greater confidence in client acquisition, a clear professional positioning and a solid foundation for independent work.

The goal is not to become someone else.

It is to identify your place in the market and occupy it with clarity and confidence.

EXPERIENCE FROM THE FIELD

Freelance myself. In the market, too.

I have worked as a freelance conference interpreter for over a decade.

I know the realities of this profession first-hand, from client acquisition and pricing to specialisation and the ongoing challenge of building a stable, fulfilling freelance career.

This practical experience shapes my work as a mentor.

In my mentoring, business strategy and personal development go hand in hand.

Sustainable success emerges where external structure and internal clarity are aligned.
