Summary
In the second episode of our three-part series on fall instructor training, host George Thomas is joined by PSIA-AASI National Team member Peter Novom to talk about why investing in your returning instructors is critical for both staff culture and guest experiences. Peter shares insights from his 25+ years of teaching—why no two lessons are ever the same, how to keep curiosity alive year after year, and why approaching training with an open mind transforms it from a “requirement” into a growth opportunity. From constraints-based learning examples to the importance of feedback culture, George and Peter explore how return instructor training can: - Motivate and energize your most experienced staff. - Turn routine lessons into creative, engaging experiences. - Set seasonal teaching goals that keep instructors growing. - Strengthen longevity, curiosity, and commitment within your school. Whether you’re a manager designing training or an instructor showing up for it, this episode will help you see fall training as more than a refresher—it’s an investment in long-term success, for you and for your guests.
