There's always a story. Stories make things real. They share history and connect us.

Robert shares how he and Peter brainstormed their concept of Role Space. Their starting point of "start with the expected" helps us clear the metaphors from our heads that have been used for decades. We can start to understand what is the interpreter's role better.

[A special thank you to Hana Manková for giving us that wonderful French phrase.]

Next episode we finish our chat with Robert G Lee. See you then.

"I don't wanna!!" But...you can be. You are.

Sometimes our path leads us to where we need to go. We learn who we are, what we can be.
Today, Robert shares his reluctant "coming of age" interpreter story.  Telling us the lessons he learned that shaped his first steps into our profession.

Next week we look about Role Space and how it came into being through the musings of Robert G Lee and Peter Llewellyn Jones.

You must be this high to ride this ride!

We all have to conform to systems, bureaucracies, policies and rules. My guest today introduces us to these thoughts as he shares his story of living and working in the UK. Let's learn about interpreting and it's quirks there through the eyes of Robert G Lee.

We'll learn more of this comparison and his research throughout this interview. Don't forget to follow or subscribe to get the latest episodes.

aRRGHH! My contact fell out!

Ever feel like you cannot really see what's happening? Sometimes there's so much going on that we aren't sure what to do next. We're not sure what it all means.

Today I share four concepts that I remind myself of when situations get a bit complicated. It also helps me to remember these four perspectives when I become "used to", complacent, or big-headed about my work. When I think it's easy or it's no big deal. I must remember these four topics.

Let me know your perspectives (with an email or voicemail) that help you make your work fresh and pointed in the right direction.

Respect is a condition for... (Listen to the end to find out.)

In this last part of our chat about interpreting in Serbia, we talk about:

• starting the profession.
• old and new ways of looking at what interpreting is.
• experts and real experts.
• and some authentic perspectives from Vera.

I want to thank Vera for a great conversation over these three episodes. Great insight from Serbia.

How do you get paid?? The judge said what??!!

Let's take a few moments to reflect on our journey as an interpreter. Recall what it was like to start, to go to your first gig. Then compare that to Vera's stories.

Vera tells us more details of the development of sign language interpreting in Serbia. The beginning is not that long ago. She tells us of the many relationships and connections that make it all possible.

A sound Cat-astrophe?! [Yes, we hear some scratches and thumps from Vera's sick cat, but interpreters are flexible.]

Today I visit with Vera Jovanovic from Belgrade, Serbia. She shares about interpreter education, working conditions, the association, and how it all fits together with the large Deaf community and it's organizations too.

"You can't do that!" "Can you believe she did that??!!" "I hate it when..."

We are all guilty of thinking or saying something like that above. In today's InterpreTips episode I give a clear look at why we should respect each of our colleagues who are in this journey with us.

It is true we must evaluate, analyze, and improve our work together, but we must use respect and kindness to achieve lasting success.

Don't talk about interpreting?! And who is Bob?!

Dr Jonathan Downie and I finish our conversation. He leaves us with some ideas to think about as we continue our journey in interpreting.

• How do we view interpreting, what is it?
• Train interpreters for real life.
• Learn the skill of reading the room.

Thanks to Jonathan for his time and discussion. It is good to learn from spoken language interpreter colleagues.
