Talking To Change

20/04/2026

New episode just dropped on Talking To Change

This week we’re continuing the conversation on Motivational Interviewing in leadership and organisations, with Glenn Hinds Motivation & Coaching Consultants and Sebastian in conversation with Jeff Wetherhold one of the MILO (Motivational Interviewing in Leadership and Organizations) team.

If you lead people, support teams, or are interested in how workplace culture really shifts, this episode offers something practical.

We talk about what happens when leaders move away from directing and towards guiding.

How everyday conversations can either shut people down or open them up. And what it means to bring the spirit of Motivational Interviewing into organisational life.

This is not about adding more tools. It is about how we show up with people.

There is good evidence that when leaders create space for autonomy, collaboration, and honest conversation, people are more likely to engage and sustain change. This episode brings that to life with real examples and reflections.

Have a listen and see what lands for you.

New episode of Talking To Change: A Motivational Interviewing Podcast is out now.

In Episode 93, Sebastian and I are joined by Marie Delorme and Miranda Grattan, SEP, MSW, RSW for a rich and grounded conversation on integrating body awareness and approaches into Motivational Interviewing.

Marie brings together MI with body based practices including restorative yoga, breathwork, movement, Thai yoga massage and sound therapy. Her work centres on trauma informed practice and on creating safe, supportive spaces where people can reconnect with their bodies and move at their own pace toward clarity, self compassion and growth.

Miranda draws on her experience as a social worker, MI trainer, Somatic Experiencing practitioner and long standing MINT member. She explores how attention to nervous system capacity, embodiment and neurobiology can deepen MI spirit, strengthen presence, and sharpen evocation. The conversation connects MI practice with real world complexity across health and social care systems.

This episode will be especially useful for MI practitioners, trainers, coaches and supervisors who want to:
Deepen relational presence in MI conversations.

Understand how nervous system regulation links with motivation and readiness

Explore practical ways of noticing and working with the body within MI spirit

The episode includes live demonstrations of both settling and activating somatic exercises, and a thoughtful discussion on the idea of the body as a doorway to motivation.
