Dr. William Miller: Creator of Motivational Interviewing (Gem)

Motivational Interviewing. If you’re a coach, leader, parent, spouse, instructor, or any role involving helping individuals move forward in their personal, professional or athletic pursuits, it’s an approach you cannot afford to miss. Rather than simply “telling” someone what to do or trying to use YOUR motivational skills to move the dial, Motivational Interviewing – or MI – takes a more effective approach. It is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication designed to strengthen personal motivation by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. And it works – impressively well.Welcome to the Catalyst 360 podcast. In today’s hidden gem we are honored to welcome one of the creators of Motivational Interviewing to the show, the one and only Dr. William Miller. That’s right – Dr. Miller doesn’t just “know” MI – he and Dr. Stephen Rollnick created it. Not only will we be discussing MI with this legendary guest, but you’ll also learn some things about the originator of MI very few people know, and how that helped lead him to develop this world-changing approach. Looking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?
