In this module, I learned that Motivational Interviewing is a person-centered approach that helps individuals strengthen their own motivation and commitment to change rather than being told what to do. I gained a better understanding of the importance of active listening, empathy, open-ended questions, affirmations, and encouraging change talk to help participants identify their own reasons for making positive changes.

I plan to apply these skills by creating a supportive and respectful environment where participants feel heard and empowered. I will also use Motivational Interviewing techniques to navigate resistance collaboratively and help individuals clarify their goals and develop confidence in achieving them. I believe that with continued practice and reflection, these skills will make me a more effective coach and facilitator.
