“la parole exportée”

I’m working away from home this week, and contrary to best blogging practice, I’m not scheduling any filler posts. So this blog is really representative of my life as a professional translator and conference interpreter.

This week’s first interpreting assignment is in the French luxury industry, for one of the best professional make-up artists worldwide.

As a professional with a different type of expertise, I’m learning many good lessons and finding reinforcement from observing a passionate, efficient, creative and generous character.

1. Passion fuels motivation.
2. Efficiency gets you where you want to be with minimum effort and maximum results. It involves using the best tools, in this case excellent products and the necessary amount, size, shape of brushes.
3. Creativity takes you beyond your comfort zone and helps you do more, better.
4. Generosity compels you to give your best to your clients and users.

Did I mention that I’m also learning some very useful tips?
