Motivational Interviewing - Advanced Skills
-
$6000 INC GST
The advanced workshop moves people from understanding what MI is and learning to use the approach and skills at work (covered in the introductory and intermediate workshops) to a verified level of competence- whereby supportive 1-1 coaching and coding of practitioners interactions are carried out by the trainer after the advanced workshop is completed.
The advanced workshop is for trainees who have completed some introductory/intermediate level training/workshops and want to advance their motivational interviewing skills to the level of practitioner. (NB supervision outside of the 2 day workshop is needed to coach trainees and check competence and costs $100 per trainee).
All handouts are provided by the trainer
Dr Trevor Simper has worked with organisations large and small who focus on supporting effective behavioural changes in their clients. The list is not exhaustive but... social workers, community workers, medics, nurses, teachers, university lecturers, physiotherapists, personal trainers, drugs and alcohol workers and health visitors have all benefited from learning motivational interviewing. 'If I had to try and quantify why the training works so well- it would be that people immediately grasp this approach as good for their own personal lives as well as highly effective for helping their clients.'
Trevor trained in the United States, Scotland and England around psychology, health wellbeing and motivational interviewing over many years and has worked as a researcher and lecturer in several large Universities in the UK and Australia and delivered training workshops for national health services, large pharmaceutical companies, elite sports coaches and sporting organisations and many local government departments. His work on Motivational Interviewing is published in numerous peer-reviewed science articles and his work also builds on from delivering training workshops by coaching professionals one to one in developing their ongoing behaviour change skills back in the workplace.
Trevor has a doctorate in psychology, Masters, and undergraduate science degrees and a postgraduate certificate for teaching.
One of the (make that THE) major theories in psychology of recent decades is Self Determination Theory (SDT) and one of the major contributions from SDT is the notion of three specific elements to help us find a gratifying/meaningful life. I’d like here to apply this specifically to occupation. The first of these three factors […]
The psychology of power in leadership Leaders carry and use their power in different ways; compare the influence of Mahatma Ghandi opposing British rule or Nelson Mandela’s stand against apartheid with the brutality of Stalin and the ruthlessness of drug lords such as Pablo Escobar. No doubt about it, leaders can be either heroes or […]
This month we switch to gender and leadership in the third of our series of eight leadership and psychology articles by Dr Trevor Simper. Are there really personality differences between male and female leaders? Is it plausible to suggest difference in gender predisposes us to be more effective in specific roles? And which specific personality […]
In the second of a series of 8 articles Dr Trevor Simper reviews the key aspects of psychology in leadership and groups. It is a brief tour de force of the decades of research which have gone into our understanding of group dynamics and leadership. He considers which decisions are best made by an individual […]
What is it that makes a good leader? And what is the difference between managing and leading? We have all spent some of our time leading or being lead, and managed or managing. This is also true though, for people in general, i.e. people who are not corporate leaders. Parents lead children, people involved in […]
Whether changing behaviour is a concern for yourself, your colleagues or your clients, there is a body of verifiable, evidence based practice for getting results. In this article Trevor Simper gives the 3 reasons why motivational interviewing is such a powerful tool for helping people change, explains a little more about what MI is and, […]
Motivational interviewing is on the rise globally and in Australia, especially in our capital cities- as many of our modern day occupations involve supporting and helping people to change- including healthcare, sports-coaching, social work, counselling, drugs and alcohol work and many others. It sounds rather glib: motivational interviewing- a bit like motivational speaking (I’m sorry […]
Like other areas of the community- it is time for us to focus on crisis management. We probably, nearly all, have loved ones who are in the most vulnerable risk group for Covid-19 and we all want to help. Many people are sensibly focusing on what can be done rather than what can’t. Ironically this […]
See what I did- MI effective approach to coaching? I.e. my coaching! Well no it probably doesn’t work unless you recognise MI as the acronym for motivational interviewing… Motivational interviewing was born out of treating psychological problems and has also more recently, become a frontline approach for helping people change in health and social care […]
Change is of course happening all the time, change is either easy, difficult or even near-impossible depending upon the nature of the change and the readiness of the person, people or organisation involved. We, individually, go through life changes which are not always volitional- aging is the key example- and obviously changes such as this […]
