“I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Linda and Bob Jope, as a new motivational interviewing trainee. They are both delightful and very approachable people. More importantly, for me, they present material that is accurate, yet easy to assimilate, in a manner that is patient, interactive, and professional, with ample opportunity to practice applying these concepts during the course of a webinar. I do not hesitate to recommend them for any similar endeavor, with enthusiasm.”

They truly care about teaching MI skills and support everyone sensitively and thoughtfully through these trainings. It was such a pleasure and privilege to be part of these trainings! It has been life-altering for me. ”

“Having worked in the public mental health field for 20 years I have attended countless trainings and conferences. Mr. Jope’s sessions on Motivational Interviewing have proven time and again to be the high water mark for intelligent, practical education on one of the most evidenced-based practices of our time. As an MI trainer now myself, when I talk to people about this wonderful approach it is Bob that I try to emulate. His calm, refined rhetoric and vast knowledge base serve as models for how training and consultation should be provided across disciplines and arenas.”
