What I Love About My Job: Japanese Voice of Charismatic Business Leader

In-house interpreter’s job is not only about interpreting. Through my eighteen years’ experience as an interpreter of Mr. Ghosn and the executives of Nissan, I developed my own way of contributing to the company. Get a glimpse of an in-house interpreter behind the scenes. I hope this gives you some useful food for thought.

Key messages include:

What is important is “chemistry,” and to convey passion of the speaker.
Look for expression that the audience finds it easy to understand
Remember to be part of the team. I can go nowhere without people supporting me.
Communication and schedule / resource management are part of my job.
