  • Summary

  • Bombarding parents or colleagues with information can shut down meaningful dialogue. Instead, Dr. Monica Gilbert shares how we can use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to foster collaboration and encourage change through using the core principles—OARS + I:

    • Open-Ended Questions—Invite Discussion: "How do you see this working for you?"
    • Affirmations—Reinforce strengths: "I see how much you care about this."
    • Reflective Listening—Show understanding by paraphrasing their thoughts.
    • Summarization—Clarify key points to ensure alignment.
    • Information Exchange—Share insights in a way that invites engagement: "Would it help if I shared some strategies?"

    Using motivational interviewing keeps conversations about change productive, builds trust, and supports meaningful discussions across all professional dialogue with parents and colleagues.
