Lessons from Business School: The Entrepreneurial Linguist
Linguists excel in the humanities, but most have little or no formal business training. We are all entrepreneurs, and to help my colleagues run their businesses more successfully, I developed a presentation based on the lessons I learned in business school. This hands-on presentation has its main emphasis on marketing (to direct clients, social media, Web 2.0, competitive advantage), and includes sections on finance/economics (pricing, supply and demand), accounting (getting organized, decreasing expenses), entrepreneurship (generating new business, networking), and negotiating (tips and tricks). Several discussion starters and exercises are part of the presentation. True to the case-study method from business school, many real-life examples are presented. No high-level terminology is used. The intention is for attendees to walk away from the session with some specific advice that they can start using immediately.
