Grant Dolier from team Paddle More joined me for this episode of Outdoor Instructor Chat. There are so many great takeaways from this chat, whether you are more land-based or water-based, there are some real gems for all outdoor instructors here!  

We discussed: Why he paddles? What is the snack of choice to sustain outdoor instructors? Being signed up as an author and writing a guide book. What skills are needed to be a successful coach and guide? Why Outdoor Instructors should learn to SUP? Plus, the quickfire(ish) questions!  Thanks to Grant for the chat, I came away from this chat with a huge grin on my face and loads to think about. I'm sure it will do the same for you too.

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.
