Our course is designed to help you learn and integrate Motivational Interviewing (MI) into your coaching practice. We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the MI Coach Foundations & Integration Course, starting on April 14, 2025.

This course is for you if…

  • You’d like to learn and improve your MI coaching skills in a supportive community.

  • You’d like to be in a group of coaches, sharing challenges and victories.

  • You’d like mentors to guide your MI learning and practice.

​In this course, you’ll collaborate, practice MI in various coaching scenarios, and receive feedback. You can share personal cases and get practical guidance on the best ways to coach. You’ll join a vibrant community where you can share your growth, gain insights, and reach a higher level of ease in coaching with MI. 

Program Details

  • Six narrated training video webinars on MI concepts and skills: You’ll have three months of access to all seven training video webinars that are part of the course. Each webinar will be released weekly, which you’ll watch in preparation for the weekly live Zoom classes. 

  • Transcripts of the webinars: To foster learning, downloadable transcripts for each webinar will be available.

  • Seven weekly live Zoom meetings to review, explore, and apply the skills: This is where the real learning happens. You’ll join the weekly live Zoom meeting to review and explore the MI content, watch demos of how it can be applied in coaching, and then practice your skills in a supportive small group. You’ll receive feedback on your chosen goals for growth and improvement.  

  • Time: This course provides time to learn about MI and how to apply it in coaching. In addition to reading the accompanying book, watching the training webinars, and participating in group discussions, you’ll have time to practice in small groups.  

  • Feedback from two experienced MI-consistent coaches: We’re confessed MI-geeks! We believe coaching with MI is the foundation for effective coaching, regardless of the unique method or specialty you bring to your coaching practice. 

  • Your teachers:
