Empathy in Action: MI is rooted in empathy, providing a non-judgmental and supportive space where people can express themselves and feel ver heard. When they listen with care and when they seem to empathize, coaches make powerful enough connections that lead to real conversations.
Rolling with Resistance: Instead of challenging resistance, MI acknowledges resistance as normal in the process of change. This method of working lets you orbit past resistance, and it gets results through cooperation and trust.
Building Self-Efficacy: MI is based on the idea that everyone has the capacity to change. Through the process of aiding people to see and believe in their inherent potential to learn and change, coaches create confidence and enduring change.
