So far disappointing Sep 24, 2012

Hi you all
Is it just me, or does anyone else have the feeling that our lector is disorganized, the progress of the presentation is SLOW, and, worst of all
it is watered-down corporate speak with little relevance for a freelancer's position???

Is it just me? Sep 24, 2012

This seem to me an unfocused, watered down corporate speak. I am disappointed, I have expected something little more to the point... Please offer comments...

Kindness Sep 24, 2012

I agree with the "slow" comment, and her presentation can definetely improve, but how about a bit of kindness?

At least she is trying to share something with the community.

Corporate speak Sep 24, 2012

I agree, Jiri, but don't let this put you off. I'm sure there are better presentations to come.

Gabriela, A common mistake is to say 'coherent' when you mean 'consistent' - it's a faux ami. Thank you.

Inspiring presentation Sep 24, 2012

I found the presentation to be inspiring - reminding me what translation is about. I've probably been in a rut, but aren't these industry contacts supposed to remind us of a wider community out there - translating can sometimes make one feel very isolated.

Good presentation Sep 24, 2012

I enjoyed taking a step back and to look in what direction I am moving.

The mentioning of "CEO" in the title should have been a big enough warning for anyone that didn't want to listen to anything resembling corporate speak - although expecations probably could have been managed better by a more detailed description of what this presentation was going to be about.

Good content Sep 24, 2012

Gabriela's content is very informational in my opinion, and I have enjoyed it. However, I would suggest she takes public speaking/ speech classes, since she has certain mannerisms which can be very distracting (stopping every other word with " hmm", or "huh" ); I took a speech class in College and I got the same comment. I believe it has to do with speaking English as a second language, the challenges are numerous and you just don't want to make any mistakes. Overall, the material was good!
