Motivational Interviewing with Insight Academy and Stoke on Trent City Council, "Genuinely of the best training sessions I’ve ever experienced – if not THE best." Oct 2024

I thought I’d start this little blog post with a bit of feedback that I received last week…


“Steven – genuinely of the best training sessions I’ve ever experienced – if not THE best. Really good balance of theory and practical with some wonderful videos, created and starring Steven himself. I was engaged for the whole two days. I really loved the local aspect of the training, as it reflected the true, lived experience of people from across Stoke-on-Trent. Inspirational training from Steven.”


Now, I can’t really add much to that, but a massive thank you to Jenna for writing it. I do put a lot of work into creating and crafting my course and it is lovely to be recognised for this. Last week, saw me delivering Motivational Interviewing (MI) training to staff from across various departments within Stoke on Trent City Council (SOTCC) and what a glorious two days it was. Public health has commissioned the training through Expert Citizens Insight Academy. The course is now replete with all new films, activities and opportunities for learners to practice their MI skills.


Feedback was 100% positive and here is a smattering of the comments:


“In all honesty, Steven is one of the best trainers I’ve ever experienced. He is so engaging and knowledgeable. The sessions were very interactive and embedded the learning. Excellent.”


“One of the best training sessions I’ve ever been on! Really interesting, informative and interactive. Steven was really helpful in making me think outside the box.”


“Steven, I love your training, I love your personality, you are always funny without being offensive, keep being you, your training is EXCEPTIONAL!”
