“The training was one of the best... I didn’t want it to end!" Motivational Interviewing


Greetings one and all,


I’ve been so busy of late that I have fell behind in my blog posts, which as you all know, I do love creating. So, here we are with the feedback from my two day’s training with NHS Black Country.


I created a two-day Inspiring Change – Motivational Interviewing course for The Black Country Training Hub. The two days include bespoke, health related scenarios and interviews with people from across the Midlands. My new training films were very popular and it was wonderful to see so many learners openly moved by the fascinating case studies. I found the staff to be committed, brave and motivated to learn. In short, I absolutely loved working with them.


The Black Country Training Hub states: ‘Our aim is to provide a primary care workforce, now and in the future, that ensures people receive safe, sustainable and high-quality care. This will require us to be bolder and braver than ever before about how our workforce is shaped and provided. We want the Black Country to be a great place to work, and to support individuals to grow into new and exciting roles.’


I particularly love the fact that I am associated with such a forward-thinking and inspirational organisation. Here is the collated feedback and I think you’ll be suitably impressed:


“Really enjoyed both days, there was a lot to take in. The setup of the sessions was interactive, giving us all a chance to form a rapport with each other over the course of the 2 days and develop skills. It was really helpful how Steven picked out good practice in the group so that we could develop a deeper understanding of why and where things said would be appropriate. Steven has a unique way of presenting that kept me interested the whole time, his demonstrations showed his skills executed effortlessly. (I’m Well Jel) 😊 Thank you again.”

"Wonderful course, great standard and content. I learnt a lot about the subject of motivational interviewing techniques. Steven was a very knowledgeable tutor who connected his training to real life examples and experiences which I could really relate to. Very interactive and balanced throughout the two days. Steven worked very hard to support us with our learning and understanding of the subject and we can apply this to our respective roles. Big thank you to Steven. Highly recommend this course.”

“I really enjoyed the course. I have taken similar courses over my career also attended Bournville College as part of My NVQ level 3 Health Trainer qualification-behaviour change/motivational interviewing. This in my opinion was far more enjoyable and delivered wonderfully. Both days went so quick. The tasks/slides and the personal account films were so thought provoking. Not a fan generally of online training but this has restored my Faith. Great Job Steve.”

“The training was one of the best I have been on, I didn’t want it to end! Really engaging and fun which is good when the work can be quite demanding and draining at times. Steven was very easy to talk to and his learnt experiences were really helpful. I will be recommending his courses to other colleagues in the future.”

Steve had clear knowledge and understanding to be able to deliver a really engaging and educational course on the subject. The correct amount of trainee participation was used to keep us engaged - and awake which was fantastic. The most well delivered course I have been on to date. I have taken away skills that I already use and can expand on and also new skills to put into practice.”
