ABSTRACT
“Winning
isn’t everything, but wanting to win is........”.Motivation is the answer to
the question “Why we do what we do?”. “M motivates P”
Motivator motivates the Person. It is one of most important duty of an
entrepreneur to motivate people. We strongly believe that motivating people
with visionary and shared goals is more favorable than motivating through
tactics, incentives or manipulation through simple carrot and stick approaches
because motivating with vision is natural whereas the former is artificial and ephemeral.
Self-motivation comes from meeting life’s challenges vigorously. Don’t numb to
your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your
life. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory. “the

MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING:
INTRODUCTION
Motivation is tremendously complex, and
what has been unraveled with any degree assurance is small indeed. But the
dismal ratio of knowledge to speculation has not depended
the enthusiasm for new forms of snake oil that are constantly coming on the market,
many of them with academic testimonials.
Motivational interviewing is a
semi-directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change
by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence. Compared with
non-directive counseling, it's more focused and goal-directed. Motivational
Interviewing is a method that works on facilitating and engaging intrinsic
motivation within the client in order to change behavior.
Motivational interviewing is
considered to be both client-centered and
semi-directive. It departs from traditional Rogerian client-centered therapy through this
use of direction, in which therapists attempt to influence clients to consider
making changes, rather than non-directively explore themselves.
MEANING OF MOTIVATION:
The term ‘motivativation’ originally is organized from the Latin word
‘movere’ which means ‘to move’. It is derived from the word ‘motive’. A motive
is an inner state that energies, activates and directs behaviour toward goals.
Motive is always internal to use and is externalized via behavior. Thus the
motivation is one’s willingness to exert efforts towards the accomplishment of
his/her goals.
Ten stages and processes
PRE- INTERVIEW

earliest.
5.
Make speaking truthfully and frankly
a way of life.
The
spirit of motivational interviewing
We believe it is vital to distinguish
between the spirit of
motivational interviewing and techniques
that we have recommended to manifest that spirit. Clinicians and
trainers who become too focused on matters of technique can lose sight of the
spirit and style that are central to the approach. There are as many variations
in technique there are clinical encounters. The spirit of the method,
however, is move enduring and can be characterized in a few key points.
Motivational
Interviewing Principles, Strategies, and Skills
Motivational interviewing is a directive, client-centered
counseling style for eliciting behaviour change by helping clients to explore
and resolve ambivalence. It is most centrally defined not by technique but by
its spirit as a facilitative style for interpersonal relationship.
How the “spirit” of motivational
interviewing is used to encourage behavior change such as increased physical
activity?
1.
Staff help participants identify their own values and
goals to evoke motivation to change.
2.
It is the participant’s responsibility to articulate the costs and benefits of
taking on new activities or changing behaviors. The staff task is to facilitate
discussion of both sides of the dilemma and guide participant toward a
resolution of the ambivalence, hopefully in a positive direction.
3.
Direct persuasion, advice giving, argumentation, and aggressive confrontation
are avoided as
Methods to encourage change. While there is a
place for advice-giving when a participant asks
For
suggestions, motivational interviewing is based on an eliciting style.
4.
Staff must be very attentive and responsive to participant’s motivational
signals in order to
Support
but not push for change. If a participant makes comments that imply resistance,
that
May
be a sign that a staff member has assumed greater participant readiness to make
a change
Than is the reality.
5.
The relationship between staff and participant is a partnership, with the staff
respecting each
participant’s freedom to make choices,
regardless of the consequences. The only caveat occurs
When
a participant reports excessive physical activity that could be unsafe due to
medical and
Physical circumstances, such as pre-existing cardiac conditions. In such
an instance, the
participant is strongly advised to make changes to
ensure safety. Behaviors that are characteristic of the motivational interview
style can be learned and skills will develop with practice.
TECHNIQUES OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING:
1.
Reflective listening to understand what a participant is trying to communicate.
2.
Expressing support and acceptance.
3.
Eliciting and selectively reinforcing any mention of positive change from the
participant.
4.
Checking on the participant’s readiness to make changes, making sure not to get
ahead of the
Participant or make
assumptions about readiness, willingness, and ability to make changes.
5.
Encouraging self-determination and problem-solving.
There are four general
principles behind Motivational Interviewing:
Express
Empathy
Empathy
involves seeing the world through the client's eyes, thinking about things as
the client thinks about them, feeling things as the client feels them, sharing
in the client's experiences. Expression of empathy is critical to the MI
approach. When clients feel that they are understood, they are more able to
open up to their own experiences and share those experiences with others.
Having clients share their experiences with you in depth allows you to assess
when and where they need support, and what potential pitfalls may need focused
on in the change planning process. Importantly, when clients perceive empathy
on a counselor's part, they become more open to gentle challenges by the counselor
about lifestyle issues and beliefs about substance use. Clients become more Comfortable fully examining their ambivalence about change
and less likely to defend ideas like their denial of problems, reducing use vs.
abstaining, etc. In short, the counselor's accurate understanding of the
client's experience facilitates change.
Support Self-Efficacy:
As noted above,
a client's belief that change is possible is an important motivator to succeeding
in making a change. As clients are held responsible for choosing and carrying
out actions to change in the MI approach, counselors focus their efforts on helping
the clients stay motivated, and supporting clients' sense of self-efficacy is a
great way to do that. One source of hope for clients using the MI approach is
that there is no "right way" to change, and if a given plan for
change does not work, clients are only limited by their own creativity as to
the number of other plans that might be tried.
The client can
be helped to develop a belief that he or she can make a change. For example,
the clinician might inquire about other healthy changes the client has made in their
life, highlighting skills the client already has. Sharing brief clinical examples
of other, similar clients' successes at changing the same habit or problem can
sometimes be helpful. In a group setting, the power of
having other people who have changed a variety of behaviors during their
lifetime gives the clinician enormous assistance in showing that people can
change.
Roll with
Resistance
In
MI, the counselor does not fight client resistance, but "rolls with
it." Statements demonstrating resistance are not challenged. Instead the
counselor uses the client's "momentum" to further explore the
client's views. Using this approach, resistance tends to be decreased rather
than increased, as clients are not reinforced for becoming argumentative and
playing "devil's advocate" to the counselor's suggestions. MI encourages
clients to develop their own solutions to the problems that they themselves have
defined. Thus, there is no real hierarchy in the client-counselor relationship
for the client to fight against. In exploring client concerns, counselors may
invite clients to examine new perspectives, but counselors do not impose new
ways of thinking on clients.
Develop
Discrepancy
"Motivation
for change occurs when people perceive a discrepancy between where they are and
where they want to be".MI counselors work to
develop this situation through helping clients examine the discrepancies
between their current behavior and future goals. When clients perceive that their
current behaviors are not leading toward some important future goal, they
become more motivated to make important life changes. Of course, MI counselors
do not develop discrepancy at the expense of the other MI principles, but
gently and gradually help clients to see how some of their current ways of
being may lead them away from, rather than toward, their eventual goals.
Motivational Interviewing is an empathic, gentle, and skillful style of counseling that helps practitioners have productive conversations with individuals with co-occurring and other disorders.
Essential characteristics of motivational
interviewing include:
The processes of change in behaviour
strategies
CONCLUSION
A
good start is half work finished, a word or deed of motivation is maximum work
finished. Every company today needs a competent person. Thus the level of
interviews has been in a dynamic manner. Now a day’s companies are very
intelligent enough to motivate candidates and bring out the best in them and
then go for the process of selection. This approach brings out the talents of
the candidates and helps them to seek a right career.
