Feedback and Coaching in Motivational Interviewing

Receive feedback on your work and guidance regarding how to apply MI in your own clinical practice. Enhance your workshop experience or learn on your own.

How it works:

You provide an audiotape or digital audio recording of a 20-minute Motivational Interviewing session (real or roleplayed). I listen to it and use the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Scale to provide qualitative and quantitative feedback. I will email you a feedback report within one week of receiving your tape. Then, in a 30-minute telephone call scheduled at your convenience, we will review the feedback, use roleplay and other experiential methods to help you improve MI skill, and develop a plan to increase your confidence in applying MI in your daily professional practice. If you want, we can discuss additional individual training options.
