“Thank you for leading us through the use of these very handy tools! It was great to think a little deeper about our clients’ perspectives and increase our clinician self-awareness.”
“The practical nature of the session and the structure, where I felt I was given ample opportunity to practice the skills I learnt with my fellow clinicians.”
“Incredibly engaging, and engagement in conversation was brilliant. Was presented in a very usable way. Examples of different situations. It was realistic to be able to put into practice.”
“Lots of ideas and strategies to try using in clinic, especially for resistant/aggressive clients.”
“I loved this session today – it’s nothing I’ve ever done before. A great and simple approach which is doable.”
“Very engaging and motivating; practical and full of great examples.”
“Liked the common sense approach – it was practical and useful. I really enjoyed this.”
“The positive enthusiastic presenter – Stav you have inspired me. Thanks for all the positive stories and applications and information.”
“Liked the scenarios, and how applicable and relevant they were to each particular workplace.”
“Gave me confidence in using a different approach dealing with negative clients.”
“Stav was very engaging, flexible & responsive. Content was relevant & exciting.”
“Liked the practical strategies we can use straight away. I really liked the pros/cons’ table and will definitely be using this.”
“Very thankful for the opportunity to engage in this training today. Learnt a lot, affirmed a lot, feeling a lot more comfortable with the ideas now. Thanks Stav!”

“Stav’s expertise, engagement skills, knowledge and humour. It was a thoroughly wonderful learning opportunity, and I think that all health care providers be encouraged to complete this training.”
“This was such a useful course. I’ve been using the techniques on everyone including myself. My favourite technique is asking my clients “What would you change in relation to… if you had a magic wand?” I have used this twice with the same client to identify a very specific goal, and it’s been great.”
“Thank you for a great day. I was very sceptical about motivational interviewing as you probably realised, it’s not my style, but I found the day fantastic.”
“The content was relevant, well-structured and easy to follow. I actually feel like I have learnt something new. P.S. I sent 3 sms during the lunch break to my family to say, ‘best training I’ve done in years! :)”
“Thank you for exceeding my expectations & keeping it very engaging!”
“Stav, thank you so much for all your information. I enjoyed the day so much, and I know it was for my professional life, but if I’m honest with myself, I also got so much out of it for my personal life as well. You are an amazing presenter!!!”
