Our 2023 National Conference was Friday, but still buzzing from a brilliant day of discussion, debate and professional development. Learnt a lot from our members and speakers as usual, but was excited to discover that a recent interest I’ve personally developed, looking at how emotional intelligence training can be of benefit to driver and rider training, is enthusiastically shared by trainers themselves. A short workshop I wrote for the conference, am now developing into a longer course following on from my own practitioner training in this area (first proper bit of CPD have done myself in a long time). When we think about the higher levels (and higher aims) of the GDE, it’s not hard to see how introducing emotional intelligence training could be of benefit in working to achieve the holy grail of behavioural change in drivers. And don’t get me started on the benefits to those working in my ‘other hat’ world of financial services!  #emotionalintelligencetraining  #emotionalintelligence  #drivertraining
