This training explores the application of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and the MI-Lead model within various military-related contexts. The training emphasizes practical application, cultural sensitivity, and leadership development through MI concepts and strategies.

Key areas of focus include:

• Enhancing communication and goal setting by Air Officer Commanders (AOCs) with cadets at the United States Air Force Academy.

• Training non-commissioned officers through the U.S. Army’s Talk Like a Leader (TLAL) program to improve interactions, soldier performance, and mission readiness using MI techniques.

• Increasing engagement with mental health services among active-duty service members using MI strategies.

• Supporting veterans through peer-led MI interventions to manage stress, promote self-care, and reduce mental health symptoms.
