Business Interpreting
Liaison Interpreting
Liaison interpreting (also known as bilateral or dialogue interpreting) facilitates communication between two parties who don't share a common language. As a business interpreter and negotiation interpreter, I enable natural dialogue and relationship-building in this most conversational form of interpreting.
The Process
How It Works
I interpret both sides of the conversation, switching between languages as each party speaks. The interpretation happens in short segments, allowing for a natural flow of dialogue.

Cultural Mediation
The Cultural Mediator Role
Beyond translating words, I ensure both parties understand each other's intentions, concerns, and cultural context. This cultural mediation is essential when navigating Italian business etiquette, from understanding negotiation styles to reading non-verbal communication. Building trust between parties is as important as accurate interpretation.
