JP Edgington joined me for this episode of Outdoor Instructor Chat. JP is someone that has no doubt help to influence my work doing instructor 101. We discuss Heuristic traps, Normalisation of deviation and the Expert Halo. These are some really powerful concepts for any outdoor instructor.  

Amongst many other things, JP has set up the Professional Edge Project and Sometimes monkeys fall out of trees(Links Below.) Using his knowledge and experience to help people build on their professional excellence and personal effectiveness.

I started in the outdoor pursuits industry because I can see the potential that it has to make a positive difference to those we work with.   My hope is that by providing instructors with additional tools and resources they need they will be better equipped to unlock the potential of others and inspire them to do even more!  This is why Instructor 101 exists today! So that you can make an even BIGGER impact on those you work with.  Please share, practise and enjoy what you have learnt. Keep Inspiring and continue to develop as an instructor.
