Description:
In this presentation we will take a look at some of the functions a CEO usually has in a company, and how we, as independent translators, could benefit from them. Many of them can and should be applied in our professional lives as translators.
This session was followed by a LIVE Q&A with the presenter. Recording of the Q&A can be found on this page.

So far disappointing
Sep 24, 2012
Hi you all Is it just me, or does anyone else have the feeling that our lector is disorganized, the progress of the presentation is SLOW, and, worst of all it is watered-down corporate speak with little relevance for a freelancer's position???

Is it just me?
Sep 24, 2012
This seem to me an unfocused, watered down corporate speak. I am disappointed, I have expected something little more to the point... Please offer comments...

Kindness
Sep 24, 2012
I agree with the "slow" comment, and her presentation can definetely improve, but how about a bit of kindness?
At least she is trying to share something with the community.

Corporate speak
Sep 24, 2012
I agree, Jiri, but don't let this put you off. I'm sure there are better presentations to come.
Gabriela, A common mistake is to say 'coherent' when you mean 'consistent' - it's a faux ami. Thank you.

Inspiring presentation
Sep 24, 2012
I found the presentation to be inspiring - reminding me what translation is about. I've probably been in a rut, but aren't these industry contacts supposed to remind us of a wider community out there - translating can sometimes make one feel very isolated.

Good presentation
Sep 24, 2012
I enjoyed taking a step back and to look in what direction I am moving.
The mentioning of "CEO" in the title should have been a big enough warning for anyone that didn't want to listen to anything resembling corporate speak - although expecations probably could have been managed better by a more detailed description of what this presentation was going to be about.

Good content
Sep 24, 2012
Gabriela's content is very informational in my opinion, and I have enjoyed it. However, I would suggest she takes public speaking/ speech classes, since she has certain mannerisms which can be very distracting (stopping every other word with " hmm", or "huh" ); I took a speech class in College and I got the same comment. I believe it has to do with speaking English as a second language, the challenges are numerous and you just don't want to make any mistakes. Overall, the material was good!
