Motivational Interviewing Skills Produce Targeted Results

Our clients are individuals who differ widely in their challenges and aspirations for health and well-being. If we're trying to unlock their motivation, why would we ask them all the same boilerplate questions? Individual needs demand tailored solutions. Learn to elicit the most important information from clients through skilled interviewing techniques that establish trust, spark motivation and ignite success stories.
