Scenario – Career Development
This particular sample dialogue (dialectic exchange) is between practitioner (P) and client (C), as the client approached the practitioner for help in relation to career development issues. Using the 4 principles from Motivational Interviewing (Rollnick & Bell, 1992) which are empathy, discussion of discrepancy, rolling with resistance, and support of efficacy, the interview aims at getting the client into the career-changing action they are contemplating. The client, in his 40’s, is beginning to feel a sense of unaccomplishment at a personal level in relation to academic as well as corporate achievement. He has been with his current company as an accountant for 18 years after graduating from university. All through that period, while he underwent training and rose through the ranks, he had always planned to take up further studies, to do his MBA as this would allow for further mobility within the company. But marriage and kids made staying with his specialization as an accountant the safest bet as the salary he receives allows him to support his wife and kids. But since he turned 40, he has increasingly felt unhappy in his current job, feeling the need to go further, to take up academic challenges to become a better accountant and business manager as well as to compete with former colleagues and ‘level up’. But he is afraid as to what this would entail, thus he is, according to the TTM model, in that ‘precontemplation stage’. The sample dialogue below attempts to show the client that he is overestimating the cons and underestimating the pros.
P: Good afternoon. I hope you are as well as you can be. I understand that you are thinking of taking on further studies? Can you elaborate on that, particularly as to the reason why?
C: Well, I am okay, I guess. But lately when I turned 40, I have been thinking about doing an MBA. I have always planned to do that, have done so for years now. But more than ever I think I have to do it, I am not getting any younger and I feel that it will really help my mobility in my company.
P: It sounds like a good option to do, gaining such a qualification can only improve your employability as your specialization and skillset will become more valuable to your employer. Are you planning to do this anytime soon?
C: Well, yes, but…uhmmm…not soon. Just weighing it all up in my head. You see my daughter, she’s going to college and my wife, she’s only doing a part-time job as my other son is in high school still. So I thought we might not be able to …
