What will I learn in the full series?
Imagine yourself in a conversation with a restaurant owner. You start to share some concepts about waste and the response you hear back feels no committal and avoidant. When you hear these words it raises your anxiety, and your need to communicate the incredible importance of offsetting single use plastics.
Psychological science knows about the very human and emotional process of getting trapped by one's own desire for {{{someone else}}} to change. Imagine seeing a better option for restaurant manager, and then witnessing them not take the better option. We are left frustrated, or worse. Do our frustrated words help? We all know the answer.
With an MI lens, this seemingly dire lose-lose situation loses much of its negative affect over us. When we hear sayings like “its not what you say its how you say it”, we realize that the insight of MI concepts already exists in all of us.
This (MI) training opportunity will be a series of experiential learning activities. Sessions will include self-reflection, visualization exercises, breakout room activities, roleplays, live observation experiences and more. Experiential learning is essential, building an MI-understanding on the ingredients that already live within you prior to the workshop.
