This presentation will look at what diversification is\, and what it isn’t. It’s not necessarily about technology (although it can be)\, or about doing new things\, like having to re-train to work in fields that lie outside your normal area of competence; it’s not about diversification versus specialisation; it’s not even necessarily about identifying and exploiting that killer business opportunity – although we would all love that\, of course. \n\n\n\nDiversification is about utilising the potential that’s already there in your business: you have potential opportunities for diversification lying undiscovered among your activities. Some will be close to the surface; others will be more deeply buried. Some will involve a greater degree of risk than others. \n\n\n\nThis kind of theoretical underpinning is all very well\, but what the sensible translator/interpreter needs is a set of concrete tools for improving their working practice and\, ultimately\, their lives: this presentation proposes a diversification toolbox\, designed to help language professionals to prepare for diversification\, and to identify key drivers of diversification opportunities in their individual business profiles (via a ‘diversification audit’)\, so that they can maximise their chances of seizing those opportunities when they emerge. \n\n\n\nTranslators and interpreters already have the power to diversify: it’s simply a question of harnessing that power by building on existing capabilities and contacts\, and shedding the inhibitions and misconceptions that can sometimes hold us back. \n\n\n\nAudience takeaway \n\n\n\nA clearer understanding of diversification\, and what it means for freelance translators and interpreters. A diversification toolbox\, containing a set of practical tools designed to help freelance translators and interpreters to prepare for and identify diversification opportunities\, giving them the best possible chance of seizing opportunities when they arise. A sense of translators and interpreters as business people with powerful\, valuable (and often untapped) skills and potential. \n\n\n\nTarget audience\n\n\n\nTranslators and interpreters of all levels of experience who want to understand the opportunities presented by diversification and would like a diversification toolbox to help them maximise their chances of success. Input and questions from professionals from a range of backgrounds and with a range of experiences will enrich the discussions around the presentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker \n\n\n\nKen Paver has over 35 years’ experience as a translator\, interpreter\, trainer and technical writer\, specialising mainly in the nuclear and technology sectors. \n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\nJoin us for this much-needed NWTN Social Saturday at the Friends’ Meeting House in central Manchester! Ken’s presentation will be followed by a tea/coffee break\, then a panel of colleagues (including Ken\, Dot Roberts\, Laurence Bisot and Roz Howarth) will talk about their experiences in diversification and answer questions from the audience. \n\n\n\nWe anticipate demand will be high\, so don’t delay in booking as tickets will be limited and the deadline is 4th March\, 4pm (for catering purposes)! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook your place URL:https://nwtn.org.uk/event/social-saturday-diversification/ LOCATION:Friends’ Meeting House\, 6 Mount Street\, Manchester\, M2 5NS\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:CPD,Networking,Social Saturday ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nwtn.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Autumnal-working-lunch-7.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250226T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250226T140000 DTSTAMP:20260423T212720 CREATED:20250213T102643Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250213T103817Z UID:7895-1740574800-1740578400@nwtn.org.uk SUMMARY:Working Lunch: Drop-in DESCRIPTION:Join NWTN Chair Laurence Bisot and colleagues for an informal chat online via Zoom.

How about reminding yourself exactly why by joining us for a one-day face-to-face workshop in Manchester\, geared towards collaboration and support among colleagues? \n\n\n\nThis event is aimed at all members\, whether newbies to the profession or experienced translators and interpreters. Let’s explore the varied ways we can support each other and work together moving forward. Let’s help each other to progress our businesses and in doing so\, we’ll demonstrate that we’re “Stronger Together”! \n\n\n\nEven if you have attended last year\, you are welcome to this new session\, updated and enhanced thanks to the feedback received after Stronger Together 2023. \n\n\n\nWe will start the day by asking last year’s attendees what they have been able to put in place since last year. \n\n\n\nWe will also extend the Post-it activity through the whole day to provide more time for everyone’s questions – and answers! We will discuss the four concepts of collaboration addressed last year with more focus on your specific questions and the answers will be collected for the benefit of all. \n\n\n\nWe will break off into facilitated group discussions where we’ll share our experiences and express our needs: interpreters will have more chance to exchange ideas and support\, and we will discuss the various ways of coworking\, and how it can help you in your business\, your work and your well-being. \n\n\n\nThe outcome? By the end of the day\, you’ll have a better understanding of the concepts of collaboration and accountability\, and you’ll appreciate how you can make them work for yourself\, as well as for others. The event will be the perfect forum for networking with your peers on a local level and for putting all the concepts you’ve learned into practice. \n\n\n\nCheck out what we achieved at Stronger Together 2023 in Laurence Auffret’s excellent event report. \n\n\n\nReserve your ticket now so you don’t miss out! \n\n\n\nHow much? \n\n\n\nThis event will be heavily subsidised for our members as we’d like as many of you to attend as possible – lunch will be provided.

Maybe you’ve always wanted to offer SEO translation as part of your services but other than using a few keywords\, you’ve no idea where to even start? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Teresa will go over some of the SEO basics\, so attendees understand exactly what it is and how it works.

The presentation will contain some practical examples and will be easy to follow\, both by those who have little or no SEO knowledge\, as well as those who already have some knowledge in this field but wish to specifically apply it to translation work. Participants who already have or are thinking about creating a website for their own translation businesses will be able to apply the best practices and concepts that we’ll develop in this webinar in their own digital marketing strategy. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss out on this chance to pick the brains of an industry leader in the field of SEO!

Specialising in marketing translation\, transcreation and copywriting for the Lifestyle field\, she has always taken a profound interest in all things SEO\, applying the best practices to her own digital marketing strategy over the years with excellent results. As we’ve continued to witness a rise in the demand for SEO-related linguistic services\, she decided to help other translators garner the necessary tools and techniques to provide this new type of service. Since then\, she has trained hundreds of translators by doing live presentations and webinars on this subject\, providing training services to translation companies\, speaking at industry events and via her online course\, Become an SEO-savvy Translator\, launched in March 2021. \n\n\n\nEvent practicalities \n\n\n\nThis event will take the form of a full day online webinar/workshop\, starting at 10.00 am (BST) and finishing at approx. 4.30 pm\, with 2 x 1 hr 15 min sessions in the morning\, an hour’s lunch break\, and 2 x 1 hr 15 min sessions in the afternoon. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions\, a few practical exercises and screen breaks throughout. \n\n\n\nThe event will be limited to a maximum of 25 participants\, to enable attendees to benefit from personalised attention and to get the most out of the Q&A sessions. \n\n\n\nHow to book \n\n\n\nTickets cost £30 for the full day (same for all NWTN membership categories) complete with a recording that will be made available for a limited time afterwards (on the understanding that it will not be shared with non-attendees).
