What Learners Are Saying
Learn not just MI but how to be a trainer
The way it was organized between conducting the training and explaining it (two hats) is wonderful. Lori’s guidance and style were enjoyable, and I love the humor! I also feel there were many skills that were not just MI but also general facilitation skills that will be really helpful overall. I also really liked doing the practice facilitation and getting Lori’s feedback
Learning MI together with other practitioners
The trainer models all aspects of the spirit of MI. The training is a layered approach that builds on skills which builds confidence. I enjoyed having an in-person training with peers from different sectors of the health care system.
I liked this workshop
I liked everything about this workshop, literally. I enjoyed being able to refine my skills and I feel my confidence has increased.
Useful skills
I liked interactivity and relatability to my role and the team I work in. Brittany is a phenomenal teacher and has a masterful grasp of MI and BAP.
Practice together
The workshop was taught in a collaborative way. I was able to practice the skills and keep learning as we progressed.
Great program!
Excellent overview and opportunities to practice teaching. Great resources. Very organized and well laid out. So great that we have ongoing access to CCMI
Ready to train my team
It was a very fun and fulfilling 4 days. I feel like I have everything I need to run the workshop in my organization. A relief as I was originally thinking that there’s more work after the training to make the workshop work for my organization. Lori was great.
Thanks, CCMI team!
It was engaging, great pace and lots of opportunities to practice skills. Many thanks for the facilitation, resources and support given to me as a learner.
Quality content
I’ve never attended such a well prepared and content rich course within my health authority
Well-thought through training
Presenter was amazing, engaging knowledgeable, encouraging, and got us all involved. CCMI is well established, their materiel is spot on, location and facilities were great.
Practical skills for my work
The material and the trainer were excellent. This training is so applicable to the work and I am excited about providing it to our crisis workers.
Detailed approach to training
I like that we went through every slide an activity- learning the material as trainers and engaging in good conversation about presenting the information.
Safe space to learn Motivational Interviewing
In person, patient, respectful, informative, and a nice pace. I enjoyed the small group environment that made it easier to learn and practice
Excited to apply the skills
Great training and skill set that will enable me to train employees in my organization
Facilitator professionalism
The trainer and delivery of content. The information was complete and I got an opportunity to understand the areas that were still confusing me.
Collaborative way to become a trainer
The concrete practice of skills and activities, the small cohort size, running through the training PowerPoint together instead of just listening to Connie.
Great experience training with CCMi
This is one of the best learning experiences in my 38 year nursing career (and I have had many!).
