Today we’d like to introduce you to Nabil Cherif.
Hi Nabil, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, how can you bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was born in Tunisia and migrated to several countries before settling in Kansas City in 2000. I worked various jobs, 21 in total, including as an interpreter. Fluent in French, Arabic, and working Spanish, I witnessed firsthand the positive impacts of interpreting, one to be of service and, just as importantly, to be the bridge that helps others to be heard and understood. I formed Bridging the Gap Interpreting, LLC in 2007. Owning and operating a business was only a start because, over the years, I have continued to grow personally and professionally. I am a black belt martial artist in Karate Shotokan and have trained extensively to become a certified personal trainer and transformation specialist with the International Sports Science Association. I am also a certified motivational teacher and speaker with the John Maxwell Team. I am publishing my first book, a love letter to the world focusing on entrepreneurship, experience, and education. These integral foundations support my passion for helping others bridge the gaps they encounter on their journey.
Alright, let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
Being a business owner can be thrilling one moment and nerve-racking the next. Both feelings are connected to the release of endorphins, which means that the body reacts similarly, but the mind interprets the signal differently. As a business owner, balance is hard but so very important.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us more about your business.
My business consists of bridging gaps and building ramps. Bridging the Gap Interpreting, LLC is a language services agency built by interpreters for interpreters. This means there is a clear and unmistakable vision and belief that “Nothing is better than being Understood.” The clients served ranged from the manufacturing industry to legal industries, education, medical, and non-profit/community services.
What do you think about happiness?
Emily, my wife and business partner, clients, interpreters, friends, and family, my success is their success, and I am grateful for everything they have helped me achieve directly and indirectly.
