“Inspirational and thought provoking!” Staffordshire County Council - Motivational Interviewing Trai

Last week I delivered two days of Motivational Interviewing training with various employees from Staffordshire County Council and it was possibly the most rewarding experience of my career. A clearly motivated work force, engaged throughout and eager to learn new skills and techniques to include when working with their service users.

It was obvious how happy the staff were in their job roles AND how they wanted to embrace new ways of working that would benefit their young people and families. What I particularly loved was how at break-time, staff did not reach for their mobile phones, instead they turned to speak and listen to the person(s) next to them, people they may not have actually met before. Lovely! There are plenty more sessions are booked, so their colleagues will experience the joyous Steven Talbot approach to training well into 2020!

Here are the comments, 100% positive and wonderfully uplifting:
