As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. And master of change Jeff Wetherhold is no stranger to this.

He helps teams and leaders to create long-lasting, sustainable change not by plans, great intentions, or illusions of control, but through the beautiful simplicity of conversation!

He joins me in the podcast chair to share his 20 years of motivational interviewing wisdom: from having the courage of your conviction, to asking open-ended questions, listening deeply, and understanding the signals that people are ready to change.

If you’re feeling fatigued from plans that keep falling flat, an hour with Jeff is everything you need to feel inspired and start leading intentional change that lasts! 

Find out about:

• Why 88% of change initiatives fail in organisations – and what to do about it
• The ambivalence of change, and why facilitators can use it to their advantage
• How to plan for conversations about change 
• The ingredients of motivational interviews: open questions, affirmations, reflections, summaries, and sharing information with consent
