Webcast details:
This two-hour professional development webcast explores Queen Bee Syndrome within the ASL interpreting field — a workplace dynamic in which established professionals may undermine, exclude, or withhold support from colleagues, particularly those who are newer to the profession.
Participants will be able to:
-
Define Queen Bee Syndrome and identify at least 6 specific behaviors that characterize this dynamic in ASL interpreting settings
-
Analyze and evaluate the impact of these dynamics on professional development, service quality, and community relationships through structured assessment exercises.
-
Create and defend evidence-based solutions including personal behavior modifications, mentorship protocols, and community intervention strategies
This training offers valuable insights and tools to promote a healthier, more inclusive interpreting community.
