14. Outdoor Instructor Chat with JP Edgington

JP Edgington joined me for this episode of Outdoor Instructor Chat. JP is someone that has no doubt help to influence my work doing instructor 101. We discuss Heuristic traps, Normalisation of deviation and the Expert Halo. These are some really powerful concepts for any outdoor instructor.   Amongst many other things, JP has set up the Professional Edge Project and Sometimes monkeys fall out of trees(Links Below.) Using his knowledge and experience to help people build on their professional excellence and personal effectiveness.   Thanks again to JP for taking the time to chat, it was incredibly informative and I am confident people will gain a lot from this.
