Driver Training - as we know it
Wow the world of blogging has so taken off, does it help promote services, business or person, ooh a difficult call. Yes of course it must, if your blog is read the audience is reached, but how does your business reach the giddy heights of excellence in a competitive world and market place. Well coaching has to be the move forward. Coaching has almost become a dirt word in driver training, the influx of training courses and almost the taking of sides in the uncertain future of the DVSA and of course the ADI. One course rivaling another yet surely variety is the spice of life. Making a stand in favour rather than having an open mind not only restricts the trainer but has a limiting effect on the learner, in the days of CCL, the client is king or queen of course. Limiting beliefs are not the order of the day. Coaching is not all encompassing but are we open minded enough as a society to let in the professional coach, bare our soul with the aim of improving ourselves and our business. Well, the feedback is that business is good so now is not the time to invest in our soul, yet the advisors tell us this absolutely the time, not only can we currently afford it we can also expand and manipulate a buoyant market. Or is that just too much to carry.
The DVSA has seen a decade of change, but as an evolving civil community we can expect no less, but what our options of this agency when the vote is cast in May, Only the foolish will believe it can stay the same. The world of driver training is actually in limbo, with heavy goods vehicles reaching dizzy heights of weight freedom, charges set in stone and CPC extending to the populous of van drivers. A new Government sees new targets a UKIP Government sees a relaxation. If you believe in road safety then the way forward is to cast a vote for the sanctity of young life. But which party has road safety at it's core. Surprisingly Labour favour compulsory CPD for ADI's, and the Tory Government in favour of privatisation of these public services, which would raise standards and meet targets, but at the expense of the advocate. Which would you choose. Is their any fight for standards? Or is it left to someone else.
Can you make a name by fighting the rad safety corner, the general public have little support for raised standards or increased financial commitment to reducing road fatality figures, a driver with minimal or zero accident history dies not support the direction of tax payers money on what is considered a right if not a leisure activity. Is there any hope for drivers and driver training after Mat 2015, really Are you sure? Do you care? Do you believe?
Expectancy is deeper then reality and reality is minimal compared to concern. Which side do you fall on? The vocationer? The believer? The sceptic?
Coaching, the key. Who coaches the coach?
2015 a significant year, for everyone.
