What if the biggest risk of AI isn't that it replaces us, but that we let it? We authorize this to happen...In this episode of ATTITUDEABLE, we sit down with Joachim Lépine, business consultant and AI specialist, to explore the bold premise behind his latest book, YouGPT Before ChatGPT.Before you leverage artificial intelligence, you must first develop yourself. Thinks & Create FIRST!For Language Professionals, Certified Translators, and Quality Advocates, this conversation couldn't be more timely. In a world where AI tools promise instant output and zero friction, the temptation to outsource our judgment is real, and the consequences, in our industry, are profound. When precision, legal validity, and cross-cultural nuance are the product, the human behind the translation is not a step in the process.

On the latest episode of Attitudeable, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Megan Miller, a passionate Spanish learner, educator, and founder of Aprovechar Language Solutions — live! What a great time we shared!Megan is the brilliant author behind a must-read book for Spanish learners that goes beyond grammar and vocabulary. Her approach is warm, empowering, and rooted in real-life communication. In our conversation, she shared what inspired her to write the book, how she built her company from the ground up, and why language learning is about so much more than just mastering tenses. She really nailed this!If you're a language lover, translator, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode is for you.

In October 2024 I had the pleasure of meeting Cecilia Lipovsek at the ATA Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon, United States. Cecy came a long way from London where she has been living for many, many years. Cecilia shares her journey into becoming a diplomatic interpreter and all her way from Buenos Aires, Argentina to London. She shares with us what inspired her to pursue this unique and specialized field of interpretation. There are some skills which are essential for someone aspiring to excel in the business of interpretation, in particular in diplomatic settings. The author and interpreter explains how to prepare and all the challenges she had to face, and how have she overcome them. In her book Jump, she emphasizes personal growth and professional leaps. This is something we all do in a way, however not always successfully. Her own philosophy translates into building a successful career in interpretation. Throughout the pages, I really loved the Four Pillars! My fav is to Plan your Journey. I too often fail in that first step... Please listen to this interview to learn the favorite one by the author herself! Then, comes her book Welcome. There Cecilia talks about thriving in the communications world. Many interpreters focus solely on their craft. How important is it for interpreters to develop business acumen, and what are some strategies they can use to grow their practice according to Cecy? In diplomatic interpretation, cultural nuances are often as important as language skills. How do you balance linguistic precision with cultural sensitivity in your work? Thanks so much dear Cecy for inspiring us and many future generations to come to make the leap and move out of our confort zones! ¡Gracias Cecy!

National Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice for Translators and Interpreters in Education As the educational interpreting and translation professions in the United States mature and evolve, it is essential to create a clear, shared understanding of research-based, relevant, and ethically appropriate principles and practices. To define and guide ethical behavior, AAITE followed a formal research process to obtain data about the critical ethical situations professional interpreters and translators in education face daily. To make this document accessible to all, in addition to selecting the ethical principles, we created standards of practice, each with accompanying examples, to clarify the scope of ethical behavior. This work is a labor of love that expresses our profound respect for those whom we serve as well as for those who work in thissetting. CULTURE cannot be separated from language. Language carries the values, beliefs, customs, and societal norms of the culture it comes from. The ways in which people express themselves, the words they use, their idioms and metaphors, all reflect the unique aspects of their cultural identity. The National Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice for Translators and Interpreters in Education are the result of a four-year effort and thousands of hours of work conducted by a group of dedicated volunteers. This effort is a foundational step in AAITE’s mission of contributing to the professionalization of the fields of educational interpreting and translation. To achieve this goal in a structured and organized manner, the Ethics and Standards Committee defined the following 11-step development process. Let us all elevate the professional recognition of Translators and Interpreters working in education! The final goal is to develop a National Certification. What are the standards and expectations?
