Speaker A:Terry Cook and you are listening to the One Minute Driving Instructor Tips Podcast, the show that helps you become a better ADI in under two minutes.
Speaker A:And this show is sponsored by my Drive time today is tip number 66 and I'm going to give you a tip about not relying on tips and tricks.
Speaker A:And yes, I do appreciate the irony here.
Speaker A:Now, we all love a quick fix, whether that's a new phrase, a clever coaching question or a technique someone shared on social media.
Speaker A:And don't get me wrong, they can be really useful.
Speaker A:But a tipping out understanding is difficult to apply.
Speaker A:So the best instructors don't have the biggest collection of tricks.
Speaker A:They have a deeper understanding of people, learning and performance.
Speaker A:That's what allows them to adapt when the lesson doesn't go according to plan.
Speaker A:So by all means, collect ideas, but don't stop there.
Speaker A:Ask yourself why they work, when they work, and just as importantly, when they don't.
Speaker A:That's where real professional development begins.
Speaker A:So if you'd like to explore those big conversations, We've got the IPP summit coming up on August 2nd where we're going beyond tips and tricks and looking at the thinking behind better teaching.
Speaker A:I'll pop the details in the show notes, but I hope you found this tip useful.
Speaker A:And for more advice on becoming a better ADI hit, subscribe and join me Mondays on the One Minute Driving Instructor Tips Podcast, sponsored by My Drive Time, the home of Making Tap Digital.
