Benefits of MI.
MI is the foundation that helps your clients get to their ‘ah-ha’ moments faster and with more fireworks! You empower clients to be their healthiest happiest self. MI skills can create respectful spaces, and show the client that you accurately understand their meaning. MI skills are what the coach wields when they are illuminating the client’s innate capacity to heal and grow. If you approach sessions with an MI lens, the burden of “must fix it” falls right off of your shoulders, lending to less burn-out, and more client-driven change. It helps clients feel seen, heard and understood, all the goodness that is needed to build a trusting space.
