DD Summit 2025 Session: Motivational Interviewing Meets Cultural Humility: A Pathway to Inclusive and Patient-Centered Nutrition Counseling
Discover how Motivational Interviewing (MI) helps dietitians to create inclusive, patient-centered nutrition counseling experiences while addressing a critical challenge: the “fixing reflex.” In this session, you’ll learn how to reframe the client-dietitian dynamic by fostering collaboration, respecting autonomy, and empowering clients as experts of their own lives. You’ll also gain practical tools to structure your sessions using MI’s four tasks—engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning—while tailoring conversations to respect cultural values and individual priorities. Through strategies like reflective listening, balancing change and sustain talk, and using the “Ask-Offer-Ask” approach, you’ll be equipped to guide clients toward meaningful, self-directed change. With real-world case studies highlighting diverse populations, this presentation ensures you leave ready to create culturally humble, client-driven outcomes.
