The Instructor In Conversation With... Diana Todd - Part One: Evolution
Terry sits down with Diana Todd to explore her journey into the driving instructor world.
Diana shares how the search for a better work-life balance led her from a high-pressure career into ADI training, just before the pandemic reshaped everything. She speaks openly about the challenges of qualifying, the reality of juggling family and work, and the lessons she learned along the way.
The conversation also dives into blended training, why trust matters in the industry, and the importance of staying open to feedback. Diana reflects on her transition into training others, her admiration for the late Lou Walsh, and how mentoring has shaped her approach.
Honest, insightful, and at times raw, this episode offers valuable takeaways for anyone on their own instructor journey.
