From recent Foundational MI trainings:

• This training really helped me understand the foundation of MI through practice, which was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

• Excellent training. Powerful experience personally and professionally. Highly recommend, so very grateful

• It really paid off the first day back to work. I found that I was having much deeper conversations with people and they were much more likely to take steps forward to take control of their personal health.
