Effective communication is essential for building trust and fostering meaningful conversations, and Motivational Interviewing offers a powerful framework to achieve just that. In this episode of While You Grow, we are joined by Dr. Kate Watson, a leading expert in Motivational Interviewing, to explore how this evidence-based approach can be applied by professionals in all settings.
Designed for both students and practitioners, this episode highlights how Motivational Interviewing is more than just a technique—it requires self-reflection and awareness to truly engage others in a collaborative, empathetic way. Whether you are a therapist, educator, counselor, or healthcare provider, understanding your own biases and communication style is key to supporting individuals as they explore their thoughts, feelings, and goals.
Join us as we discuss the universal benefits of Motivational Interviewing and how developing self-awareness can enhance your ability to connect with and empower others.
