How We Help with Your MI Needs
Needs Assessment
An often underutilized step in the process, a needs assessment can elicit input from administrative and frontline staff to identify needs, potential barriers, and solutions that result in staff buy-in and long-term gains.
eLearning
E-learning is an efficient option for teaching introductory topics, providing baseline knowledge, and illustrating concepts using hosted videos. We have already developed and successfully implemented a comprehensive eLearning system called MI-INTRO that can be quickly scaled and customized for your organization.
Instructor-led Training
Instructor-led training allows for demonstrations, role-playing, and dynamic experiential training experiences. We employ a wide range of training activities that allow your staff to observe, experience, and practice skills related to the use of MI in the workplace.
Blended Learning
Blended learning allows for deeper understanding of a topic. It includes both e-learning (to provide knowledge) and classroom instruction (to provide practice with hands-on application).
Coaching & Consultation
Effective long-term implementation may require additional coaching. LDI provides web-based and in-person coaching services as needed. We can also document staff proficiency utilizing structured evaluation procedures, and, if required, establish a certification process.
