Episode 274: EwK274 - 3/10 Learning through community - with Team Translator

To celebrate 10 years of the English with Kirsty podcast, I'm creating a 10-part series to celebrate 10 different forms that learning can take. There will also be an online networking event for guests and listeners to come together on the podcast's birthday in July. Part three of the series is about how we can learn through community. The first people who came to my mind to talk about community were Kelsey and Anikó  from Team Translator - and fortunately for us, they said "yes"!Whether you call yourself a freelancer, a business owner, a self-employed professional - community is so important for all of us working on our own.Kelsey Frick and Anikó Pető-Mordovski set up Team Translator to provide a community for those working in translation. We talked about what the community is, how it works, why it's important, and what Anikó  and Kelsey have learned through leading and being part of it. We also discussed the importance of building meaningful connections, LinkedIn strategies, the need to be yourself, and how connection can take different forms, such as the Team Translator Slack community.If you are a translator and you don't know about the community, you can find out more on the Team Translator website: https://www.team-translator.comIf you're not, are there other communities where you could find support, colleagues, potential clients or friends? It doesn't just have to be one. Our own personal community is the support system that we build around ourselves and might involve several professional communities. The main thing is that they are a great source of support and opportunities to learn.Find out more on the show notes page: https://englishwithkirsty.com/podcast/episode274/
