Mila Golovine, CEO and President of MasterWord, joins SlatorPod to talk about the important topic of stress and trauma that linguists may experience on the job.Mila walks us through her journey in the language industry: immigrating from Russia, founding the Texas-based LSP straight out of university, and leading it to where it is today. She reflects on MasterWord’s diversification, expanding from oil and gas to healthcare, education, and government services.The CEO talks about the strategy behind recruiting from refugee communities and using MasterWord Institute to train talent wanting to enter the language industry. She discusses how stress and vicarious trauma affect language professionals, as well as the specific training and tools that can help prevent this.Mila gives her outlook on the dynamics of Language Access regulation in the US and how it differs state by state.

#122 Addressing Vicarious Trauma Among Linguists With MasterWord CEO Mila Golovine

“We don’t just witness the trauma; we channel the trauma.” When interpreters work in courtrooms, doctors’ offices, or other high-stress environments, they can absorb vicarious trauma from the situation. We invited Mila Golovine, founder of Masterword, to talk to us about how that trauma happens and how interpreters can work through it before, during, and after an assignment, and to let those interpreters know they aren’t alone. Settle in for a talk on brain chemistry and emotions!
