Ever find yourself telling someone exactly what they should do to make a change and they just don’t do it? All you can think to do is suggest solutions, or tell a story about how you can relate? There’s another way! A way that’s actually evidence-based too! Learn “what exactly is motivational interviewing?” and walk away with immediately useful strategies to help guide someone toward making a change. Whether you’re a doctor, hygienist, teacher, corrections officer, coach - if you work alongside humans and are often asking them to make a behavior change, bolster your communication skills and find more effective ways to empower others to make a change.
