Elevate your Image to Succeed as a Court Interpreter and other settings, by Beatriz E. Bogard, U.S. Courts Certified Interpreter and Certified Image Consultant.

Have you ever wondered what your Image says about you? Your image includes not only the clothes you wear but your body language, communication skills and etiquette. Your Image needs to say that you are effective professionally and personally, it should reflect your accomplishments.

Did you know that it only takes a few seconds for others to make judgements about you? We make judgements about others based purely on the way they look, and it all happens at a subconscious level. Clearly, since we make such profound value judgements from such superficial evidence, it would also seem important to choose carefully the way we dress in order to communicate our attributes and value to others.

In this class we will learn the importance of our Image in our work as interpreters and how we can elevate it to be used as a tool to communicate that we are efficient and professional.    I will also give you great tips on how to use color to our advantage in different professional settings.

See you soon!
