    Hello I'm Liz,

    I help individuals and organizations implement an evidence-based communication style called Motivational Interviewing (MI) to enhance their ability to engage and motivate their clients, patients, students, and even family members for needed behavior change.

    MI starts from the premise that motivation resides within people and the helper's job is to draw it out.  Together, let's figure out what is getting in the way of seeing the results you're after!  

    What others are saying

    Asking Permission:

    I can help someone find their motivation.

    Asking Permission:

     "I have noticed a big difference in that I used to try telling people what they could do to change but now I try to ask if they would like my advice or not. Usually, they say yes and seem to be more interested when they have given permission. I have noticed some of them following through on the advice I gave them with their own permission! Woohoo!"  

    Don't Wait!

    I can help someone find their motivation.

    Asking Permission:

    "I wish I had learned about Motivational Interviewing earlier in my training. I would have been able to help more clients." 

    -- Paula S. 

    I can help someone find their motivation.

    I can help someone find their motivation.

    I can help someone find their motivation.

     "Through the MI exercises, I came to really understand how the desire to change can only come from within the person. The only way that I can truly help is to guide a person by better eliciting his/her own motivation to change. It is a good tool to have because everyone at some point will need to find the motivation to do something, so it is cool that I can be someone to help! "
