QLD: Covid19 – Not The End Of The World

Zoom online webinar
Wednesday 19 August 2020
7.00pm - 9.00pm AEST
REGISTRATIONS CLOSED


A look at how to diversify, grow a team, and project manage your way to success in the ‘new normal.’


AUSIT QLD invites you to participate in the 2nd Webinar of the 4-part Business Series.

Join Sam Berner and Anna Jenman in their exploration of ideas for how we can adapt our translation businesses to a post-covid-19 world as part of Ausit Queensland’s 2020 Business Series. Increasing the resilience of our businesses during this testing time is paramount, and Sam and Anna will be able to provide you with some ideas, guidance and actionable steps to help you on your way.

The training will cover two main areas for discussion: the first part will focus on the practicalities of team building as a way to attract more work, and the second on project management of small teams and increasing efficiency within our businesses. The presenters will also be touching on relevant topics throughout, such as the importance of diversifying our services, (and ways to do so), looking for more international clients, and examining how we used to work in comparison with the realities of the ‘new normal.’

This 2 hour webinar will be presented as a conversation between the two hosts, who are both freelance translators experienced in the realms of team building and project management, with plenty of time to discuss questions at the end.

Presenter 2


Sam Berner

Born in Europe and raised in North Africa and the Middle East, Sam can fluently speak three languages and stutter in three others. Before coming to Australia, she lived for over twenty years in the Middle East and North Africa, teaching, publishing and translating. During those years Sam worked for several regional and international publishing houses, as well as the UNICEF and UNHCR in conflict zones.   In addition to her translation work, Sam conducts workshops for Australian businesses about the use of translators, cross-cultural communication and effective business dealing with people from Middle Eastern and North African cultures. A Fellow of the Institute and its former National President, Sam continues to be active in AUSIT. She mentors and motivates many aspiring translators to expand their vision globally. A staunch advocate for embracing change, Sam presented numerous workshops and seminars for AUSIT on business practices, technology, professional development and ethics, as well as travelling overseas to present academic papers at international conferences.  She has been actively involved in various community groups working with refugees and other non-profit organizations, NAATI and AUSIT committees and Translators Australia. She is the recipient of AUSIT Excellence Award in 2009 and 2018 and was the Vice-Chair of the FIT2017 Congress held in Brisbane, as well as chairing the 2008 and 2014 AUSIT National Conferences.
