Crippled by fear

A logical, understandable and widespread reaction to the feeling of fear, is to do nothing. While doing nothing, irrational imaginations of doom and gloom can develop.  A visceral response which no-one should be ashamed of experiencing.  Michael Pritchard (a comedian) wasn't joking when he said: "Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed".

Before you even start training with BIG TOM to become a driving instructor, you will have wrestled internally with these demons of doubt and resistance to change.  When you are receiving the training, there will be fear regarding the qualifying tests.  After qualifying, the next obstacle is what to say and do when you have your first pupil sat in the car.  What's going to happen when your first pupil goes to take their driving test?

Sit back, relax those shoulders, have a cup of tea.  

BIG TOM training provides customers with the appropriate preparation for the unknowns. There will not be hidden surprises.  The training, for example, includes working with real pupils, so you get plenty of practice providing first-class driving instruction in realistic situations where you get to witness actual responses from pupils rather than artificial role-play scenarios.

One little tip that it is worth considering is that how you are feeling is not too dissimilar to your pupils when they first meet you.  Your experiences now will help you to empathise with customers once you are successfully qualified.
