Motivational Interviewing Training/Consulting

Beginning and Intermediate Training

Motivational Interviewing is "a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment to change".  p. 12, Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change, 3rd Edition.

This training covers the Spirit of MI, the four processes and the microskills associated with MI.   The schedule includes presentations, demonstrations, videos and practice.

Generally speaking, most aspects of Motivational Interviewing, both beginning and intermediate, can be covered in a two day training. Gary has gotten approval from the Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Board in Ohio for (12 CEUs) for the two day training. Additional coaching and feedback are usually needed to achieve competency.

Ongoing Coaching

Gary is starting an ongoing coaching group for those who have had an initial two day training and want more coaching and feedback.   Group will remain small to provide more than adequate time for specific practice helping lead towards competency.  Individual coaching is available as well.  If interested, click on Contact Us button below.  You can pay the fee for a coaching session below.  The fee for a coaching session can be paid below.  Thanks.

Agency consultation and training

Gary offers free consultation with programs or agencies to help determine the needs of that program.   An individualized program can be designed for you and your staff based upon your needs and the needs of those with whom you work.  Please call 614 506-2802 or email gary@stofle.com for further information.   Gary's approach involves modeling the spirit of motivational interviewing and demonstrating the specific interventions all the while setting the stage for participants to feel safe while they do skills practice .

Included in this section is feedback from the Director of Programming for a large, statewide social service organization:

"Gary shows such genuine enthusiasm for using MI and for teaching others MI.  The investment he makes in helping others to learn MI shows his dedication to helping professionals ensure they are communicating with others with the dignity and respect that every human deserves.  He is a blessing to have as a trainer for teams.   He is an amazing trainer and keeps his trainings fun and interactive, while at the same time reminding us why we wanted to be in a helping profession.  I would recommend Gary as a trainer for any organization or group."
