Increase motivation to change
This class looks at common conversations where ambivalence about behavior change is the main theme. In these conversations it is easy to play the role of the expert and tell the person what they need to do to improve their situation. However, this can be confrontational and doesn’t help the ambivalent person change their situation. This training presents a guiding style of communication for these conversations using Miller and Rollnick’s “OARS” skills.
