What is Motivational Interviewing?

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a method of communication
  • It is an international Evidence-Based Practice with thousands of research articles highlighting varying aspects of its efficacy
  • It is effective for quickly eliminating resistance/anger/discord in any conversation
  • It is effective for helping people resolve their ambivalence that may be preventing them from making a decision, or moving forward, or solving the problem.
  • It is effective for curbing “water cooler” conversations where employees focus on each other or leadership as problems instead of doing the job they applied for
  • It is effective for getting leadership to stay focused on their vision, mission, and values
  • This makes it more effective for managers to manage and supervisors to supervise, and help staff align with the vision, mission and values
  • It helps with making policy decisions that align with the vision, mission, and values
  • It helps in every conversation to move from resistance/frustrations, into ambivalence, into solution-focused within brief interactions (5-20 minutes)
  • It helps reduce the pain of having to micro-manage staff and help them self-correct behaviors
