“The staff of Social Programs recently had the opportunity to participant in Motivational Interviewing with MI in the Maritimes. This training was an incredibly valuable experience for all in attendance!  It equipped staff with practical strategies and tools they can immediately use when working with clients. Josh fostered an engaging and supportive learning environment, making complex concepts easy to understand. Staff left feeling more confident in their ability to have meaningful conversations that empower individuals to make positive changes. This training is highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their communication skills and build stronger, more collaborative relationships. We look forward to having more staff attend this training! Thank you Josh!”

“PEERS Alliance is a health promotion and harm reduction agency providing programs services to under-resourced and historically marginalized communities. Our staff team is dynamic and diverse, eager for professional development opportunities that support their work in both practical and conceptual ways – which this two-day training absolutely did! Maritimes Motivational Interviewing and Consulting provided a professional but relaxed training atmosphere that encouraged staff to actively engage with the content and exercises. Although diverse in our roles, all staff quickly identified how and where the spirit and skills of Motivational Interviewing connected and could be applied to their work. Our team was excited to learn the basics of MI with Josh, who was extremely knowledgeable in MI but was also authentic, organized, and clear in his approach to facilitation. We would strongly recommend this training to any person or group working to support people through change, or wanting to support people through change, in compassionate and empowering ways!”

“When Josh told me he was able to offer Motivational Interviewing training to my staff, I was elated. Josh is a perfect balance of professional, laid back and fun. He was able to deliver the training in our time frame and kept the staff engaged, participating, asking questions, and wanting further information. With limited time he left them with a sense of what Motivational Interviewing is, how to use it in their day-to-day and on-the-job, plus, links to do further research. Josh listened to their feedback and sent me ideas on the next steps for training. It was a wonderful experience overall.”

“We were incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity for Josh to facilitate our MI Training. He went beyond our expectations, and made the training informative, interactive, engaging, and a breeze to get through. Josh was able to relate the training to each participant’s different workloads and get people to think outside the box. Our staff are excited to implement what they’ve learned in their day-to-day and work lives! Josh gave us plenty of feedback, resources and links to continue our training with MI as well as making himself available for any questions that may arise! We highly recommend this training for any person or organizations interested in learning more about this. Thank you so much Josh!”
