I recently completed my ‘Inspiring Change’ course with Staffordshire Police. Thanks to PCSO Simon Jones I was able to create bespoke films that certainly entertained and educated the masses, so thanks for that Simon, we all know there’s an actor struggling to get out of that uniform!
The course was an individualised Motivational Interviewing (MI) course tailored to Staffordshire Police. Feedback has been exceptionally positive, which always helps. We looked at our professional values and how important they are within the workplace and when working with members of the public. We also looked at how to inspire people into change behaviour and embrace a new life style or different lifestyle choices.
The learners were all uniformly motivated and engaged across the training days; with the oft quoted, ‘Steven you’re an inspiration’ floating around, I do so love a compliment. The learners in turn were clearly learning and were more than happy to throw themselves into each and every activity. They supported one another and it was very rewarding hearing they supported one another through the various learning tasks.
Here are some of the learner comments, as you can no doubt imagine, all of the feedback was 100% positive:
