That Little Voice In Your Head
Have you wanted to silence that little voice in your head? Fire the whole committee?
This voice/committee is self-talk. Self-talk typically focuses on the negative, which affects how you show up and face each day, down to each moment. As interpreters, how we feel and think about ourselves and our work influences our product and our connections with Deaf consumers. Let’s identify and change our thought processes. Let’s find and amplify our positive inner voice!
For this discussion group, you will
-
Read Mo Gawdat’s (2022) That Little Voice In Your Head: Adjust the Code that Runs Your Brains, and
-
Participate in group discussions with other interpreters.
That Little Voice in Your Head is a book discussion facilitated by Amy Kroll. This interactive discussion is for working and student interpreters.

-
Deconstruct negative self-talk and its neural causes,
-
Identify positive self-talk and its neural path,
