Empower individuals to recognize the gap between their current behavior and their future goals.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a research-based, collaborative communication method that helps leaders and supervisors drive meaningful change within their teams and organizations. By utilizing MI, leaders develop the skills needed to engage employees in constructive dialogue, fostering an environment where individuals feel empowered to take ownership of their actions and align them with personal and professional objectives. Originally used in addiction treatment, MI has proven highly effective across diverse sectors, including organizational management.

In the workplace, MI is particularly valuable for managing team members who may be uncomfortable with feedback or change. By understanding the “Stages of Change,” leaders can tailor their approach to support employees in recognizing their potential, developing actionable goals, and making sustainable improvements. These skills help cultivate a culture of accountability, growth, and self-motivation within the organization.
