“Amazing, Amazing, Amazing." Lynne, Motivational Interviewing with Staffs County Council Jan 2023

My Motivational Interviewing 2023 course is definitely a palpable hit! I think there must have been something in the water, as the last few days with staff from various sectors of Staffordshire County Council has been brilliantly uplifting. I have marvelled at the skills on show, I particularly loved the care and interaction between the learners as they supported each other through each of the tasks. The course is totally interactive, with zero death by PowerPoint. Instead, I have created a course that equips people with the skills to work directly with their clients, be they; children, young people, carers, parents, adults at risk of harm or residents of the area.
I left the training room yesterday, elated and overjoyed to meet so many inspirational people from the council. Some of whom stated they felt pretty burned out and were not particularly looking forward to attending training with this ‘Steven character…’ Below you will find the smattering of feedback comments, as always they are 100% positive with some rather moving sentiments. It’s very rewarding to know that the learners can see how much research and effort I put into creating my courses. Of course, it wouldn’t be possible without the help of the various people, (both with lived experience and professionals working on the front line) who I interviewed and filmed from across Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire.
2023 has started off really well, long may it continue!
So, a huge thank you to the legends that are Chelsea, Corrina, Karen, Kristyna, Lee, Lynne, Megan, Michelle, Monica and Sarah.
