• Ever felt stuck in a conversation where the person just won’t budge?

• Have you tried giving advice with the best of intentions, only to be met with silence or worse, resistance?

Do you wish you had tools to help others change without pushing them?

Change doesn’t happen because we tell someone to. It happens when they want to.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) gives you the skills to guide people through ambivalence, build their confidence, and help them take ownership of their growth. This isn’t about persuasion, it’s about partnership.

What Is This Module About?

Motivational Interviewing is a two-day training designed to help volunteers develop respectful, empathic conversations that inspire change.

Rooted in the principles of collaboration, compassion, and client autonomy, this course equips you with practical tools to:

• Manage resistance without confrontation

• Use reflective listening and open questions effectively

• Elicit “change talk” that builds motivation

• Strengthen commitment to action

Through hands-on practice, guided role-plays, and peer learning, you’ll walk away with the confidence to engage even the most stuck conversations and help others move toward positive change, on their own terms.

How This Course Makes A Difference?

Helping someone change isn’t about pushing, it’s about listening.

This course trains you to become a better guide, not a fixer. You’ll learn how to recognise ambivalence, invite insight, and empower others to commit to their own goals.
