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.","meta_description":"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…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1281,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/first-chair-psia-aasi-podcast-325068/episodes/curiosity-culture-and-commitment-why-fall-instructor-training-matters-part-2/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/first-chair-psia-aasi-podcast-325068/curiosity-culture-and-commitment-why-fall-instructor-training-matters-part-2.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
