5. Outdoor Instructor Chat with Kayak Essentials

For this episode of Outdoor Instructor Chat, I was joined by Matt Giblin from Kayak Essentials. I came away from this chat with my face hurting from smiling so much.  We discussed: Overcoming fear of failure, Kayak Essentials and some of the really smart ways that Kayak Essentials have been adapting during Lockdown, What makes a good coach and Instructor scripts. Not forgetting the quickfire(ish) questions round too.   A HUGE thanks to Matt for taking the time to chat, hopefully, I can convince him to do it again sometime in the future.
