Laying the foundations for Motivational Interviewing at Lives Lived Well

Last week, Lives Lived Well (LLW) marked a significant milestone with a Motivational Interviewing (MI) Train New Trainers session, facilitated by Mikel Gellatly and Dr Stan Steindl. Over three days, we laid the groundwork for an organisation-wide rollout of MI training, aimed at empowering our client-facing staff and leaders across the organisation.

Our dedicated participants—Amanda Moawad, Ross de la Haye, Tom Ruming, Katie Hudson, Dr. Nick Kerswell, Grace Shuttleworth, and Paul Vallance—immersed themselves in MI principles and practices. Their commitment and enthusiasm were truly inspiring, bringing a wealth of insights and expertise to the sessions.

This training was more than just an event; it marked the start of an important journey. The strong foundations we’ve established will soon support a cohesive and impactful MI training program across LLW. We look forward to seeing how this training will benefit our teams and, ultimately, the clients we support.
