Curtis Campogni began working with the most at-risk teens in Florida in 2014. Seeking a new tool to engage and retain them, he discovered the power of Motivational Interviewing (MI), and it quickly became his most effective approach to inspire others toward change.
Curtis understands that successful implementation of MI requires a subject matter expert and someone with real-life experience utilizing these methods. Thus, in September 2021, he decided to pursue his dream of starting a company rooted in MI principles to influence change across the country.
Since, Curtis has been blessed to share this knowledge with over 10k professionals across 12 states employed in workforce development, child welfare, customer service, and re-entry programs.
On a personal note, Curtis is married with two dogs and recently adopted an amazing little girl. He also has an unhealthy love of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and tries not to allow their win/loss record to impact my motivation. 😊

The Health Department wants to remind residents that respiratory viruses like COVID-19, the flu, and RSV often spread at higher rates during the colder months. To stay as healthy as possible, it is important that we use the tools available to us, such as vaccinations, testing, treatment, and high filtration-masks, and take the necessary steps to reduce the chances of severe illness and the spread of disease. Residents are encouraged to stay vigilant about your health so that you may comfortably get together with family and friends this holiday season | | | |
