In this in-person conversation, Terry sits down with Lee Jowett to explore what really shapes a driving instructor, beyond passing tests, ticking boxes, and collecting certificates.
Lee discusses his journey into the industry, why he never set out to be a trainer, and how discovering coaching fundamentally changed both his teaching approach and his personal identity. From early mentorship under Claire Wilmot, through formal coaching education and psychology-led training, to co-founding KIT (Knowledgeablee Instructor Training), this episode is a deep dive into development, reflection, and doing the work properly.
Expect to hear:
There’s also honest discussion about the future of instructor training, the limits of current qualification routes, and why real change can’t come from test-focused teaching alone.
This episode is reflective, challenging, and unapologetically grown-up.
