Terry Cook is joined by Chris Bensted, Tom Stenson, and Stewart Lochrie to look back on 2025.
Together they unpack the wins, the failures, and the frustrating feeling that change in the industry is happening… just not always where or how people want it.
Topics include failure to change, CPD beyond “ticking boxes”, Part 3 heartbreaks, collaboration across the industry, the rise (and misuse) of AI, neurodiversity, road safety, events, and why many instructors still stop developing the moment they qualify.
There’s reflection on what’s shifted in 2025, what’s improved, and why 2026 might finally be the year when things start to click.
