Here's how you can overcome challenges when applying Motivational Interviewing techniques as an entrepreneur.

In my experience, which is now in the private practice setting, MI is most impactful when someone is talking about something that is connected to shame. There is something priceless about being in the presence of a non-judgmental, compassionate other. It’s not rocket science, but yet so powerful and fundamental. And this goes back to self-care because when you’re seeing 15 to 20 clients a week, there is definitely a high correlation between the compassion and care that you give to yourself and your ability to continually, chronically give the same to others every hour of every day.

Motivational interviewing is best described from the candidate's perspective of aligning his/her responses to the interviewer's question, whereas their answers demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and experience dovetail with the position requirements. Further, the candidate actively listens to the interviewer's questions and responds accordingly in context.

L’entretien motivationnel est effectivement très intéressant à utiliser en relation d’aide, afin d’évaluer à quel niveau une personne est prête à opérer un changement: pré-contemplation, contemplation, préparation, action et consolidation ?? L’écoute active et empathique est essentielle et les questions bien dirigées permettent d’orienter adéquatement l’entretien, sans argumentation ou confrontation auprès des client. Il peut être utilisé auprès de différentes clientèles, d’adolescents à personnes agées ????

Motivational Interviewing is a "sexy" term for a PRACTICAL communication strategy to encourage "change." The KEY word here is "encourage" change as the technique is a non-confrontational conversational strategy that empowers individuals to overcome their own resistance to chance. Using the FRAMES strategy, it is possible to motivation the individual towards sustained change.

Very effective in building self-esteem and helping individuals identify their strengths. And a Fosters, the individual to think more positively about themselves and their capabilities a lot of times people live within themselves so much that they don’t take the time to look at themselves from the outside perspective to see some of the great things that they are actually capable of that someone looking from the opposite side of the window is able to recognize, motivational interviewing actually achieved this and so many ways.

In my experience building a good rapport with a client is essential to help aid in their recovery. I believe it is key to ask questions about family and where they grew up to let the individual know that we truly care about their overall well-being. I have come to realize that many people just want to be heard and not judged to allow them to be able to fully express themselves. A foundation of trust, care & honest expression can form a healthy relationship with client & clinician. I personally believe that without building a good rapport little to nothing can be accomplished.

En effet, une fois la relation de confiance établie, il devient plus facile d’aborder certaines croyances limitantes et de créer une ouverture pour tenter d’amener le client à se mettre en action vers un changement sain de ses habitudes de vie, comme je suis ergothérapeute et que la réalisation des habitudes de vie est l’activité et le moyen utilisé pour gagner en autonomie.

Rather than viewing resistance negatively, we can reframe it as a natural response to the uncertainty and discomfort that accompany change. When we say "You're right to feel this way" and "What do you need to navigate this change more effectively?" we acknowledge and validate this resistance and allow the individual to become an active participant in choosing the next actionable step.

One of the KEY themes in Motivational Interviewing is the concept of "Rolling with Resistance." Essential this means, being completely impartial, empathetic and activity listening. The "rolling" part is all about spotting the incongruence in the individual language (sustain talk) and behaviours. Then reflecting these inconsistencies back to the individual to raise their awareness to "how" to encourage more "change talk" and their movement towards the values and goals.

Selon mon expérience, le fait d’essayer le changement visé en étant accompagné ou sous ma supervision est l’un des facteurs facilitant, puisque c’est rassurant pour ma clientèle. C’est une suggestion ou proposition que je fais lorsque le client démonte une belle ouverture au changement (étape de préparation et d’action) ????

Finding ways to incorporate intrinsic reinforcement can help to support behavioral momentum and maintain motivation. Assessing reinforcement prior by identifying preferred stimuli can be helpful in identifying ways to motivate.

Dans ma pratique, j’utilise les concepts de prise de décisions partagées, donc avec le client, nous notons les différentes options qui s’offrent à lui, de même que les avantages et inconvénients de chacune des options, afin de lui permettre de prendre une décision éclairée.

I would ask questions starting with 'if'. 'If there were no barriers in your way, what would you be planning and doing?' Or, 'let's not be too practical right now. Just share your wishes and your dreams.' Be playful. Play is a natural way in which people experiment and grow - and it's fun, too. This approach also lightens the mood, relaxes everyone, and that's opens people to more of their creativity.

C’est en effet par le biais de questions ouvertes que l’entretien est dirigé, afin que les éléments proviennent du discours du client, de même que les solutions envisagées ??

One useful model to enhance motivational interviewing is the concept of the "cycle of change." Knowledge of this model can help the interviewer to decide of the individual is "ready" for change. The first phase of the cycle of change is "DENIAL." This is where the individual does not see any problem or any need to make changes and therefore will not engage with any idea for change. Its like leading a horse to water, you can't make it drink. The horse is not thirsty at all. Any attempt to "force" a change to someone in denial will only generate more resistance.
