Testimonials

"I loved working with Rastislav as my on stage translator for my one-day workshop in Bratislava. In addition to being a very proficient translator, his understanding of the nature of my work in personal development made the seminar much more powerful. He also spent a day with me cleaning up the translation of my Powerpoint slides into Slovak. His commitment to excellence and his willingness to do whatever it took late into the night the day before to support me in delivering the best workshop possible was invaluable. I have nothing but great respect for him, and I totally and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone wanting an excellent translator."

As you live your life you meet many people. A few stand out and stay in your memory. Of the few you remember there are a select group of truly impressive people. For the past 10 years I have worked with such a person. I know this person professionally and personally. Rastislav Geschwandtner is an extremely competent interpreter. Not only does he interpret my words, he also interprets my intent. He shares my passion for life and excellence. Whomever contracts Rasto to interpret or translate will receive the benefit of precision, talent and competence. I am indeed fortunate to have Rasto as a partner in my business ventures in Slovakia.
