Practitioners
Bring Motivational Interviewing to leaders and organizations in a way that meets them where they are.
MI at work
You've seen what Motivational Interviewing (MI) can do. You know the evidence, you've lived the results, and you want to bring this work to leaders and organizations.
Easier said than done. The approach that works with clients doesn't land the same way with leaders and managers. That's not a limitation of the evidence. It's a translation problem that goes much deeper than new language.
What's different
Bringing MI to organizational settings means navigating conditions clinical training wasn't designed to address: power dynamics, organizational pressures, boundaries, and repercussions.
Conversational settings are more varied. The differences in constraints are meaningful. You need to know when MI is enough and when to integrate other approaches.
Rebranding clinical practices doesn’t work. Your clients deserve an approach that speaks directly to their needs. It's a different and rigorous application of what you already know.
Training and consultation
Training builds the specific language, structure, and connections to experience and impact that organizational settings require. Available in-person or virtually, as a workshop or a series of shorter sessions.
Practice consultation gives you space to work through what this looks like in your specific organizational contexts. Navigate what's genuinely different, adapt what you already know, and build confidence in settings clinical training didn't prepare you for.
Format:
-
Available in-person or virtually.
-
Preferred virtual format: a series of short sessions (90-120 minutes each) with time in between to implement.
-
In-person engagements are structured around comparable instructional hours.
