Motivational Interviewing (MI) isn't that hard to understand. Once you'd start reading the standard textbooks you will quickly notice how much it resonates with what you were already thinking, or looking for.

However, just adding some 'MI-light' to your otherwise unchanged practice, won't change much (if anything at all).

MI is learned by disciplined listening, not by just accumulating some techniques and strategies.

Reading matters, workshops matter, but the decisive learning loop is:
Perform -> Record -> Code -> Receive feedback -> Isolate one thing to work on -> Drill it -> Perform again.

Teamwork definitely makes the dream work!!

Three days of intensive, hard work with 50 dedicated, smart and compassionate learners during the 2nd Training for New Trainers (TNT) in Wenzhou, China, earlier this week. As a result, MINT Inc. now has 50 additional, new & enthusiastic members.

We couldn't have done this without our fabulous team of trainers and supports: Nick (Hong Kong), Deborah, Paul, Anna, John and Sophia (China), Katie (USA) and Takeshi (Japan). Thank you so much, ladies & gents! You all did an excellent job!

The Wenzhou Kangning Hospital - affiliated with the local Medical University - kindly hosted all of us again this year, and was generous with its support and warm hospitality.

I am so grateful to have been part of this great collective, in which each of us brought out the best in all of us.

Ah, that's a relief...!

What a wonderful friend and colleague Alexander Kantchelov is! Besides translating for me while working with his colleagues, he even started to mirror my non-verbal behavior... 😁
