Hello
Welcome to episode 16 from a snowy (finally) alps. It's been a very weird winter here, lots of early snow and then nothing for the whole of January, followed by a wet and windy February. Compounding that is Coronavirus cancellations all over the place in March.
As a welcome diversion, I had a lovely conversation with Dr Jim Taylor who joined me via skype on a stormy night in my office. There were some connection problems on the line so you might notice some echo on my voice and some cut off answers from Dr Jim.
We had a chat including visualisation and things instructors can do to help clients from a psychological perspective, amongst other things.
You can find Dr Jim at https://www.drjimtaylor.com/4.0/dr-jim-taylor/aboutdrjimtaylor/
I hope you enjoy this episode.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave, I ski instructed for 10 years which finished 18 years ago. Listening to this episode brought back memories of one client on a beginner slope learning to turn. The client was so nervous. My entire lesson was skiing backwards in front of them talking to them, getting them to hold my poles ( jiggling the poles) to check for tenseness or whatever I needed to do just to get them to relax. That is it was all mind games. Thanks for the episode.
