This half day session engages learners in an interactive discussion and role-play based workshop on the application of Motivational Interviewing principles to the process of supervision. Practical examples of manager/supervision conversations are used to explore the core principles including understanding the person's motivation, listening with empathy, and empowering the individuals concerned. Topics • A continuum of supervisory styles and guiding • Principles of Motivational Interviewing • Ambivalence about change and “MI Moments” • Resisting the "righting reflex" in common supervisory situations • Case examples and analysis
