Description
Prerequisite: The workshop is suitable for workers who have completed MI Foundation Skills AND Developing Skills (or equivalent) and now want to deepen and integrate MI skills more effectively into their practice.
This one-day workshop is a more comprehensive version of the one-day Developing Skills workshop, with more time for reflection, intensive practice, observation and coaching to help bring the skills together into more flowing conversations.
The workshop is highly intreactive, using discussion, skills practice, guided conversation, observation and coaching, with less lecture-based learning than the Foundation Skills and more practical application.
Learning objectives:
- Refresh and deepen understanding of the MI framework
- Deepen capacity to guide change conversations within a client-centred approach
- Extend core skills, such as the skilful use of complex reflections and open questions within change conversations
- Apply MI skills across the four processes of change conversations: Engage, Focus, Evoke and Plan
- Working with challenging presentations, values and change talk
- Develop strategies to monitor our use of the skills and continue to develop after the workshop is over
