## Resource

To mark International Women’s Day 2026 , this special episode of The Instructor Podcast is hosted by Emma Fonnaland, who brings together Kate Monk, Diana Todd and Emma Cottington for an open and honest conversation about women in the driver training industry. The discussion explores how each guest entered the profession, the challenges they’ve faced along the way, and the experiences that have shaped them as instructors. The conversation touches on topics such as being underestimated due to age or gender, balancing family life with the job, and why empathy, support and human connection matter so much in driver training. Along the way, there are also lighter moments as the guests share personal stories, memorable learner experiences, and advice for women considering a career as a driving instructor. 🔥 Get More Than Just Test Passes - Join the Premium Membership If you're a driving instructor who wants to teach better, earn more, and stand out from the crowd, the Premium membership is where it happens.
