MI practitioners
You know Motivational Interviewing. Bring it to the rooms clinical training can't reach.
MI at work
You teach Motivational Interviewing (MI) well. With client-facing providers, it lands. Then you walk into a room of leaders and managers, and the same material doesn't move them the way it should.
It isn't you, and it isn't them. The approach that works for clinicians wasn't built for that room. You can train leaders and managers in MI, but you can’t train them like therapists.
The distinction
There's growing evidence that MI has a great deal to offer leaders and organizations when it's offered differently. The people you teach deserve instruction built for their day-to-day.
You can adapt MI for these audiences and draw on other approaches that share its ethical ground. It's what turns a strong clinical trainer into one who can work anywhere.
Working together
Translate your MI expertise for leaders and organizations. Build confidence in reaching audiences that clinical training never prepared you for.
Training
Learn to adapt MI instruction to the needs and constraints of the workplace. Share familiar skills in a way that’s grounded with your audience and integrate other approaches that share MI’s foundation.
1:1 Consultation
Work new modes of instruction into your own contexts, adapting what you know and building confidence in what's new.
A community
I serve on the board of Motivational Interviewing in Leadership and Organizations (MILO), a collaborative community of practitioners. Activities are free and new members are welcome.
