English with Kirsty – episode 310
Combining a love of animals with a language career – with Jadwiga Ruchlewska
You can listen to episode 310 here:
Jadwiga is my final guest from the group of language professionals who agreed to share how they combine their love of animals, in Jadwiga’s case horses, with a career in languages. You’ll find out in the episode why Jadwiga wasn’t able to join us for episode 300, but it was great to catch up with her this month to find out more about her … and her animals of course!
We talked about :
- “Jadwiga’s story and how she connected her career in translation with her love of horses
- The types of horse-related content that Jadwiga works on and what she most enjoys
- How Jadwiga keeps her equestrian industry knowledge up-to-date
- How we can be proactive in terms of identifying new opportunities and approaching potential clients in fields that interest us
I particularly liked Jadwiga’s take on the last point in terms of being open to identifying potential clients in the spaces where we already are and with the contacts that we already have. Sometimes you just need to have the courage to present yourself and explore those potential partnerships and collaborations.
