MI helps others activate their willingness, ability and readiness for change and growth. MI is designed to call forth, support and strengthen an individual’s motivation for and movement toward their own horizon line within a conversational atmosphere of partnership, acceptance, compassion and empowerment.

MI outperforms traditional advice-giving for promoting sustainable behavior change. In contrast to persuasion strategies that seek to compel change through external mechanisms, MI does not impose change. MI supports sustainable change in a manner congruent with the person’s own values, strengths and wishes.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

“a particular way of talking with people about change and growth to strengthen their own motivation and commitment.”

TESTIMONIALS

Every time I take a course with Ali Hall I walk away with a greater understanding of the nuances of Motivational Interviewing, new insights, and practical tips I can immediately apply to supervision and training. She has a rare quality about her that engages learners at all levels and invites group exploration of strategic and relational elements of MI. Her trainings also offer opportunities to observe and practice in small and large group settings. Learning to code Motivational Interviewing conversations with Ali has been one of the most helpful ways for me to strengthen my MI skills and enhance my training practice.

TESTIMONIALS

As a trainer and in her life, Ali embodies MI to the very core of her being. Her deeply rooted knowledge of MI and her expertise in facilitating learning is superb. She is creative, engaging, clear, and focused – using multiple strategies to accommodate different learning styles. I especially love her use of compelling metaphors and real-life examples to help bring MI to life.

TESTIMONIALS

As a MINT member and MI trainer for nearly twenty years, I find it particularly important to keep my material fresh and learning curve as steep as possible. With those objectives in mind, I take every opportunity available to train either under or with Ali Hall. She is consistently on the leading edge of new approaches, new research, and new ideas for how to train, implement, and practice motivational interviewing. I encourage anyone wanting to learn MI, as a novice or a seasoned MI trainer, to engage Ali as a trainer. You will walk away more informed, prepared, and inspired.
