Motivational Interviewing 31: Amy Shanahan and Carol DeFrancesco Pt. 1

"It is a momentum…awe experience invites us into curiosity; it naturally then draws you deeper into the experience. Like for me with leaves, look at those. What are they up to? They're reaching towards sunlight. Why is that? Oh, they're photosynthesizing. Well, it's actually the most important biological process on earth."

MINT trainers  Amy Shanahan and Carol DeFrancesco join host Ali Hall to discuss growing our practice of Awe, how it opens us up to curiosity and helps us connect with others.
