"People are like a garden to be tended, not a machine to be repaired." - Stephen Andrew
"Motivational Interviewing is a particular way of talking with people about change and growth to strengthen their own motivation and commitment" (Motivational Interviewing 4th Edition, William R. Miller, PhD, and Stephen Rollnick, PhD, 2023).
Motivational Interviewing is open to everyone. Whether you work as a helper in your professional career or just want to learn how to be a better listener and empower others in your personal life, Motivational Interviewing is for you.
