Empowering Change Using Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (TGS-2022014398)
Are you struggling to help your family, friends, colleagues, or staff overcome resistance and ambivalence towards change?
Are you looking for more effective strategies to enhance their motivation and commitment to reach their goals?
Do you want to empower your employees or clients to take control of their lives and reach their full potential?
If yes, then this course is for you!
This course is eligible for SkillsFuture Credit and other subsidies. Eligibility for funding is subject to SkillsFuture Singapore’s terms and conditions (e.g. attendance and assessment requirements).
Course Description
You may have heard your loved ones or clients say “I know I need to change la, because… but then…”. Sometimes they may even seem to be stuck in their problems, repeating the same old “excuses” and “buts” despite you having already told them the solution.
Ironically, the more we try to persuade or confront someone, the more resistance happens. It’s like fighting a wrestling match that ultimately leaves both parties feeling tired, hurt and frustrated.
So, how do we effectively facilitate change within someone and empower them to take positive action without entering into a deadlock? How do we navigate this constant “flip-flopping” between changing versus sustaining their behaviours?
Here’s where Motivational Interviewing (MI) comes in. The MI approach teaches you how to explore and strengthen a person’s own reasons for change, while also demonstrating an appreciation of the challenges they face. It is a collaborative conversation style, much like a dance rather than a wrestling match. By adopting the MI approach, you can build supportive relationships with your loved ones/clients and evoke their intrinsic motivations for long lasting change.

Course Outline
Master the Art of Motivating Conversations
Before we can draw out someone’s own motivation for change, we first need to understand what and why someone may be resistant to change.
Acquire the listening skills to decipher someone’s readiness for change, and learn to build empathy, trust and rapport, the foundation for change later on.
Unlock the Power of Motivational Interviewing Techniques
Navigate conversations and guide someone to talk more about his or her own reasons for change. Acquire mastery over managing change and sustain talks in conversations. Probe using powerful questions and be crystal sharp in what you choose to reflect.
Become the conversational mirror to allow the other party to hear and listen to their own motivations for change.
Transforming and Touching Lives
Become the catalyst to create a supportive, open and empathic workplace. Be the person who people respect and turns to for support, advice and help.
Be known as the one who “truly and genuinely cares” when you apply the skills of para-counselling into your daily interactions with others.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Make sense of what is happening in a conversation when talking to someone about change
- Demonstrate and engage in emphatic conversations
- Draw out the person’s own motivation for change and reinforce desire to change
- Apply practical skills to tip the conversations towards change without increasing resistance
- Be the master of motivating conversations when you guide others to discover their own reasons for change
