We are all aware of the importance of tapping into intrinsic motivation for sustainable behavior change. Although some clients can easily identify their intrinsic motivation, others may need more exploration and reflection. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based strategy used in many wellness professions and particularly in health and wellness coaching, to strengthen a person’s own motivation and commitment to change. Intrinsic (autonomous) motivation typically aligns with personal values and desires and often has a future orientation which leads to sustained motivation. Clients often benefit from guidance and support to uncover the true “whys” which underpin their health and wellness goals. This session will explore how MI concepts and strategies can assist this process.
