The two day training program includes many opportunities for reflection and review. Non-threatening group activities are incorporated throughout the two days.
Then review our blog posts below which nicely summarise the key principles of motivational interviewing, and which we present throughout our training day. The articles are as follows:
Stavroula has a background in psychology and counselling, and worked with the Cancer Council Victoria (Quit Victoria) for 20 years in tobacco control. Her roles initially included Quitline telephone counsellor, and as a Quit Educator running seminars for smokers in the workplace and community setting.
During her time at the Cancer Council, she also managed and delivered Quit’s training programs to a range of health and community professionals across Australia. As a result, Stav has trained thousands of professionals from various sectors… Her relationships with these organisations and Educators, inspired her to establish ‘Health & Wellbeing Training Consultants’ to continue to provide education and training in an area that she is deeply passionate about – people’s health and wellbeing.
Stav and her team provide a professional service and create a safe haven for learning – we are the perfect solution for your training and professional development needs, and look forward to working with you to help improve your confidence, knowledge and skills in motivational interviewing.
“Very relevant. Stav’s presentation was excellent. I definitely will try to implement the skills I have learnt today.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Greatly appreciate your expertise. Thanks!”
“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.”
“Liked the practical strategies we can use straight away. I really liked the pros/cons’ table and will definitely be using this.”
“Useful strategies for engaging resistant clients, particularly those who have relapsed.”
“I’m inspired to be a better clinician, to provide my clients with the most optimal care and support.”
“Stav was passionate, informative and engaging. Best ‘work’ training thing I’ve been to.”
“The presenter was welcoming, calm, thoughtful, engaging. The content was easy to read, understand & take away, and Stav always brought it back to the ‘why’ we want to employ this tool/approach in our practice…”
“Thanks for the great training. It has helped me to build up my confidence in practice. I am more confident to provide client-centered, non-judgemental, and collaborative practice. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“This training will dramatically change the way I work with clients, for the better of course! This training has provided real skills.”
“I thought the facilitation was outstanding. Fun, engaging, easy to follow, and quite practical too. I can truly see myself incorporate these approaches into my daily practice. Keep up the fantastic work! 😊” (participant from Singapore)
Following the training:
“I just wanted to take the time today to reach out and express my gratitude for the MI training that you provided as part of the BKBM study. Integrating MI into my practice (and my daily life, apparently now without even realising it!) has truly transformed the way I practice as a dietitian, and I cannot thank you enough! I have started receiving some incredibly positive feedback from patients recently, and much of it I put down to significant changes in the way I now approach dietetic practice thanks to MI training.”
“I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have been able to attend your training. I had felt somewhat stagnant and stuck with work as of late and I can honestly say that being able to attend your training breathed new life into my day to day. So again, thank you.”
“Thanks for the course last week! It was really informative and insightful! I loved all the stuff you had as it helps me to have the so-called “script” to work through and make sure I’m covering off all the details I want to in a meeting/consult.”
