Motivational Interviewing Made Easy: A Simple, 5-week Program to Build Motivational Interviewing Skills

Book Overview

Master Motivational Interviewing — In Just Five Weeks

Have you ever felt stuck in conversations with clients who resist change—no matter how much you try to help? Do you find yourself giving advice, only to have it ignored or dismissed? Motivational Interviewing (MI) is the key to transforming these interactions into ... powerful, change-driven conversations.

But knowing the theory isn’t enough. Most professionals attend a training, get excited about the ideas, and then revert to old counseling habits. That’s where this book is different.

Motivational Interviewing Made Easy takes the complexity out of MI and gives you a practical, structured, and action-based five-week program to develop essential MI skills—without the overwhelm.

Each chapter introduces one core behavior to focus on for an entire week, allowing you to build habits naturally and deepen your MI practice over time. You’ll learn how to:

Ask before advising – and why this one shift changes everything
Replace advice with information – so clients feel empowered, not instructed
Integrate client language – reinforcing autonomy and insight
Discover the motivational “why” – tapping into intrinsic change drivers
Apply the “magic scale” – a simple yet powerful tool for forward movement
The strategies in this book aren’t just best practices—they’re grounded in the MITI (Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity) framework, which is used to assess competence in MI across clinical settings. If someone scored you using the MITI, and you consistently applied what’s taught in this book, you’d perform at a high level.

That’s the promise of this approach. But here’s the problem: most people won’t do it.

They’ll read the book. Maybe highlight a few pages. And then go back to doing what they’ve always done. That’s not how mastery works.

Don’t let the simplicity fool you. One skill. One week. That’s the structure. But the power is in the practice. This book is deceptively simple because MI, when done well, looks effortless—but is the result of deep, intentional skill-building.

Very few readers ever take the author up on the offer of free coaching and feedback. Most don’t complete the weekly tracking sheets. Fewer still submit a session for MITI coding. Yet those who do? Their skills change dramatically.

This book is for counselors, therapists, coaches, and healthcare professionals who are serious about becoming better at what they do. It’s not for people who want to read about MI. It’s for those who want to live it.

If you’re ready to build Motivational Interviewing skills that actually show up in your sessions—and hold up under scrutiny—then this is the place to start. read more

BIOGRAPHY
G. Scott Graham is an existential handyman — fixing what’s broken, realigning what’s off-kilter, and helping people rebuild their lives with meaning, purpose, and the occasional strip of duct tape. He’s also an author, career coach, business coach, and psychedelic support coach based in Boston, Massachusetts.
... > Scott is driven to help clients follow their “true azimuth” — a direction distinct from “true north.” It’s not about chasing some universal ideal. It’s about identifying what genuinely matters to you. It’s about recognizing the forces that pull your life off course and learning how to adjust so you still arrive where your heart wants to go. When you’re 90 and looking back, your life should feel like it was truly yours — filled with pride, purpose, and meaning. No regrets.

When he’s not coaching people to be their very best, Scott runs a nonprofit farm animal rescue and lives what he teaches. He does Tough Mudders, teaches Sun 73 Tai Chi, paddleboards with his dogs Groot and Rocket, and camps in State Parks across New England whenever he can. His daily spiritual practice is grounded in an?p?nasati, vipassan?, and mett?-bh?van? meditation. A firm believer in service as the heart of a life well-lived, Scott also volunteers as an EMT instructor, firefighter, and Master Gardener in his community.

In his “free time,” he writes books. read more
