Building on previous training, participants will revisit the purpose and spirit of MI as an evidence-based approach to supporting behavior change, with an emphasis on recognizing and responding to ambivalence. Through live demonstrations, skill practice, and group discussion, attendees will enhance their ability to identify and evoke change talk and apply MI-consistent communication strategies in real-world coaching conversations. This session reinforces core coaching competencies while providing a supportive environment for continued skill development and professional growth.
