The Instructor In Conversation With... Diana Todd - Part Three: Women
Terry is joined once again by Diana Todd to tackle an important topic: women in the driving instructor industry.
Diana shares her perspective on why women remain an undervalued resource in what is still a male-dominated profession, and how qualities like compassion, empathy, and balance can bring huge value to both learners and instructors.
Together, Terry and Diana explore why fewer women put themselves forward for opportunities, the impact of extra responsibilities like childcare, and the role associations, schools, and trainers can play in creating platforms for women to thrive. The discussion also covers stereotypes, confidence, and the importance of sharing successes, big and small. Honest, thought-provoking, and inspiring, this episode encourages all instructors to reflect on how the industry can be more inclusive and supportive.
