The spirit of motivational interviewing (MI) is a way of being with others through compassion, acceptance, partnership and empowerment. How can the mindset and skills of MI support growth and change in clients to impact an organization? Join us as we dive into the four components and showcase one organization’s commitment to sustain this practice with workplace standards for what is and what isn’t MI spirit, and by living those values not only with clients but also with each other.

Learning Objectives:

Examine the four components of the MI spirit.
Identify ways to bridge professional growth with workplace values.
Summarize implementation strategies for organization-wide engagement.
