Motivational Interviewing – A Grant-Centered Approach to Getting Unstuck

Did your project stop dead in its tracks? Is your grants team stuck in the mud? Is your client indecisive or maybe even ambivalent? As grant professionals, we often find ourselves stuck in the middle of this madness. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based treatment used for many years in the clinical setting to help clients explore ambivalence and boost motivation and commitment for their own change. Come learn how to propel your clients, teams, and your work forward by applying the framework and MI to the world of grants to ultimately get unstuck! In this interactive session, participants will gain an understanding of the spirit and guiding principles of MI, key techniques of MI and how to apply them into grants work, and methods to activate change.
