Two-day workshop – Advanced Principles & Applications of Motivational Interviewing Strategies.
This builds on the one-day workshop and blends associated psychotherapies into the model to improve outcomes. This training is delivered by psychology / psychiatry trained experts and is tailored to your sector of work.
Persuasive Conversations & Motivating Change Training – Where Healthy Change Provides Mutual Benefits
This workshop teaches communication skills and strategies that will improve an individual’s adherence to your advice or request – particularly where these requests have mutually beneficial outcomes.
In essence, this soft skills training effectively blends listening, empathy and validation practice with guidance, and an influence that’s better trusted, more effective, and is more likely to be adopted. It’s a conversational style that moves people towards an action that is good for everyone.
This training employs many of the skills and techniques within Motivational Interviewing practice. Motivational Interviewing is a person-centred counselling style. It supports people to reduce self-defeating behaviours in their best interests. This training is different, it will help your team influence behaviours that are in everyone’s best interests. Where the benefits of the outcomes to the request are shared.
It’s a training solution for organisations that have contact support roles with individuals vulnerable to impulsivity, life-stress, negative life choices and self-defeating behaviours. Importantly, these behaviours are impacting a number of people, including your organisation and its staff. In this instance, there’s a common ground – change benefits everyone.
In simple terms – people are not doing what you would like them to do and your desire to motivate them to adopt your ideas has an ethical basis.
