Change management

Guide your clients and 
employees through CHANGE
with Motivational Interviewing

You are invested in your client's or employee's success and well-being. You know what they need to do and you know how they can do it.

 

Why is this person still stuck? How can you help your team make these changes? How can you help your patient follow through with her goals?

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based approach for connecting with a person or group, exploring the possibility of

           change, and enhancing a person's or group's motivation

            to define and achieve their own version of

"even better yet." 

This person-centered style of communicating addresses ambivalence about a specific

behavior change. It is appropriate for use in

many settings in which the well-being of the

client, patient, or employee is important.

  • The Listening Space: A Guide to Strengthening Parent-Child Relationships with Motivational Interviewing
    Have you ever asked your child to do something important, but after sharing your brilliant, clear reasoning, you realized that your child didn’t listen to a word of it? Most of us want a positive relationship with our kids AND we want them to tune in so they can be responsible, safe, and independent. We really can have both.


Happy parents, happy children. You don't have to choose.
