What others say:
An impactful cross profession training that is actually worth your time!
As a therapist, I am constantly getting CE’s that are not interactive lectures or simply clicking buttons. I have participated in MI trainings through my graduate program and an online CE that were great for information and USELESS in actual practice. This MI training with the IFIOC (Casey Jackson) was a dramatic shift from the norm. The training was immediately interactive, engaging and tailored to my specific group based on our field and professions within that field. He selected example videos and exercises for us to practice that were specific to our needs without hesitation. He was able to provide feedback to everyone who asked and point out not only our strengths but also our areas for growth. I would highly recommend the Motivational Interviewing and Advanced Motivational Interviewing for anyone wanting to enhance their interactions with others professionally and even personally. This is truly enhancing my practice on a daily basis. Would 100% recommend.
