Motivational Interviewing
My interview with Dr Stan Steindl, discussing Motivational interviewing. Not sure what that entails, me neither however after chatting with Stan I am much clear on what it all means. Stan outlines a simple process that is clear to understand and not only beneficial in helping others with behavioural change but perhaps also ourselves. I thoroughly enjoyed the insights, perspectives and techniques that were shared.
