Motivational Interviewing Basics

Join Dr. Dave Christian, Utah State University Professional and Scientific Psychology Professor for a training that will show you how to use Motivational Interviewing to more effectively connect with your members of Congress, local leaders, or even members of your own CCL group. 

“Motivational Interviewing” is a communication style that fosters collaboration and offers you as an advocate a package of skills to collaborate with anyone, especially “difficult people.” As a well-regarded professional approach Motivational Interviewing has thirty years of research across many fields and more than 1,000 studies demonstrating its effectiveness.

There will also be time for attendees to ask questions and attendees are encouraged to post any questions ahead of time below in the Events Comments section to make sure they can be addressed.

RSVP as "Attending" to trainings you want to receive updates on or subscribe to CCL's once-a-week training reminders via email and text.

CCL offers two ongoing training series online via Zoom conference (instructions for how to log-on): Citizens' Climate University for existing volunteers on Thursday evenings and Core Volunteer Training for new volunteers on Tuesday evenings (here's the upcoming CCL training schedule).
