Motivational Interviewing & Beyond

In this episode we introduce Kendall Bond as part of the MIB team. We are joined by Karen Ingersoll, Tyrel Starks and Chris Wagner to explore how MI can be adapted to work with more than on person in groups counselling, couples therapy, classrooms and sports teams.

In this episode,  Steve, Joel, Kendelle Bond and friends from around the world explore if, where and how MI fits into the broader conversations about change. What can MI bring to the conversations outside of the therapy room, locker room or classroom?

Helen Mentha, an expert in motivational interviewing from the drug and alcohol sector, joins Tipene Pickett, inspired by Terry Moyers' workshops, Kyle McKenzie, a veteran trainer from Ballarat, and social worker Ken McMaster. They discuss the transformative power of motivational interviewing in cultivating empathetic relationships. The conversation delves into navigating confrontation, embracing ambivalence in healing, and the importance of patience in sustainable change. They highlight MI's role in effective therapeutic conversations and the integration of cultural values for authentic connections.

 In this episode of MIB, Joel, Ange, Steve, Bill Miller, Molly Magill, Chris Wagner, Paul Earnshaw, Allan Zuckoff will continue the discussion to try to discover if an underlying theory of MI exists (or if one is needed). We are joined by a couple of people from the audience to liven thing up. This is one robust and stimulating conversation for MI Geeks!

In this episode of MIB, Joel, Ange, Terri Moyers, Bill Neto, Kathy Goumas, Allan Zuckoff and other guests will try to discover if an underlying theory of MI exists (or if one is needed). After a  a robust opening, the conversation eventually finds it's way to the place where we hoped it would.  It looks like we be having a part two of this conversation before too long. 

Motivational Interviewing has been disseminated to an untold number of people around the world. In this episode Joel, Ange, Steve and guests from around the world take a look at Motivational Interviewing training over the years. We explore questions such as: What's changed over time? What's stayed the same? Virtual training versus face-to-face training, what’s best? Does everyone really need to be proficient in MI to be helpful?
