As a coach do you ever feel stuck? Do you ever wonder how your conversations might help facilitate increased practice change? Do you ever consider how you might be able to get more buy-in from practitioners for Pyramid implementation? Changing practice can be hard. Practitioners are mostly likely to change their practice when changes align with their own values and goals. Motivational interviewing can support practitioners to reflect on their own values and goals. These strategies can also support practitioners to reflect on their ambivalence about practice change. This webinar explores strategies such as asking open ended questions, validating, offering affirmations, reflective listening, and evoking practitioners’ ideas about change.
