No pain no gain

One of the biggest myths about "intensive driving courses" is the word intensive.  People, quite understandably, associate the word intensive with this concept of high effort, maximum energy and dare I even say it, pain..... "no pain no gain".
At BIG TOM this is not our philosophy.  
Think for a moment how you prefer to alter your behaviour for the better.  Rarely does this involve a sharp, sudden change in attitude.  Consistency is so much more beneficial than this idea of erratic, impulsive behavioural change.  The reason why this is the preferred method is that it tends to lead to more permanent habitual actions.
It will very likely lead to better outcomes regarding how you train to become an ADI.  Little and often, enjoyable, stimulating training that leaves you feeling good, interested, and wanting more.
Today I finished working with a pupil and after 4 hours of training, we were amazed at how quickly the time went.  Our work together was stimulating, progressive, positive and constructive.  Together, we were not within a learning environment that was a burden, unsafe, too challenging, neither was it simplistic, boring and repetitive.  You see the balance?
The DVSA Driving Standard makes reference to this point.  If you choose to train with BIG TOM, this will be covered in your training because it is important to your customers and your business.  

New career as a driving instructor?

Do take a look at this video clip here which is a great lesson in STOP PROCRASTINATING!  If you look at it all the way through, there is a lesson to be learnt.  The same outcome was arrived actually by a slip, an accident, but how much relief would have been felt!  Sometimes we all need a bit more doing rather than thinking.
