Motivational Interviewing has now been found to help people find the motivation they need to make changes across a range of health and lifestyle behaviors. Developed by Professors Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick, MI has now been shown to help people change their smoking and drinking, diet, exercise and sport, work and study, and relationship behaviors. The key is to explore and resolve your ambivalence, your arguments for and against change, and then make a commitment to get started! MI Coach is facilitated by internationally recognized MI practitioner and trainer, Dr. Stan Steindl, via short instructional videos, key exercises and activities, and practical goal setting. Dive into MI Coach and get started on your journey towards lasting change!
