Motivational Interviewing as a Tool for Change
At Yeske Buie, we understand that change is hard. We have all experienced the desire to make a change in our lives, whether the change involves discarding a bad habit, acquiring a new skill, or making a big life transition. Every day, Clients come to us seeking our advice; however, acting on that advice is easier said than done. To inspire motivation that leads our Clients to make a change, we lean on an empathetic process known as motivational interviewing. Read on to learn about the nature and benefits of this technique.

Save the Date: Brain Balance
We often challenge Clients to shift their perspective, whether to see the world as a collection of resilient human beings (rather than a dangerous place filled with lurking hazards) or to activate their belief in achieving goals they didn’t think were possible. In this vein, we’re excited to host a live webinar on July 27 featuring a guest speaker who will offer a technique for shifting how you see the world by activating both sides of your brain through handwriting.

Doing the Right Things
We believe one of the most important parts of our relationship building process is discovery, a time when we get to know all about you. We recognize that asking you to share the deepest aspects of your personal life requires significant vulnerability, and in honor of this, we like to do the same. One recent example of this is from Partner, Yusuf Abugideiri, in a podcast episode called Doing the Right Things. Give it a listen to learn more about Yusuf’s growth from childhood until now.
Word of the Week: Gratitude
As we focus on challenging ourselves to embrace personal growth and development, it feels appropriate for gratitude to be our word of the week. Gratitude is the expression of appreciation for what you have. It is a positive emotion that can allow you to feel happier, and more satisfied, with life. Having gratitude may be easier said than done, but taking time to pause and express thanks for what you have and appreciate in your life can be the key to feeling gratitude. We offer an opportunity to practice this via TheLiveBigWay Gratitude Wall.
