THE PAST
I have a broad experience in my journey so far as I raced through the work and learnings to figure out what a GOOD DRIVER really is. And What motivated me? Well my young life was no happy at all. The one person who brought joy was hit by a truck knocked flying through the air off his motor bike and spent 6 years in hospital with intense help to learn to walk and talk again. During this time I bought my first busine a chain of 5 driving schools. And little did I know but I was training my best friend over and over again via my hundreds of clients a week.
I thought we were good drivers. I started driving at age of 6. How could this possibly happen.
THE PRESENT
For the last 6 years I have specialized in a fantastic group of wanting-to-drive adults ranging from age 94 to 17 with an average age of 31, all of whom struggled with learning to drive. The majority having taken previous training, some for years ,without being able to successfully find the method to drive. Many came to me again after leaving the skill till later in life when babies arrived or a job demanded a driver’s license. Or when they simply wanted more flexibility and freedom to just jump in a car an go wherever! Finally after trying and failing with the traditional driver instructors they found COOPER.
And what is it that I do differently. After all I was trained the same way the 3.5 week D.I. Driving Instructors were trained. Actually I took this 3.5 week training twice. So maybe I am twice as good! HA HA! Once when I was 19 in Ontario and again in 2020 here in British Columbia.
MORE PAST
But I also have massive training in crash research fleet work applied research cell phone studies work and a full driving therapist training, plus more. Plus I am ruthlessly curious about people and how people think learn change and succeed and or failure, which proved very exciting for me as upper management positions wielding very complex combination of things together to produce a profit for the rich owners. My specialty in the corporate world was a change management specialist as acting CIO in one corporation and then a full international CEO. I loved the complexity but sadly it as 24/7 and yes I was paid handsomely but my life paid the price for basically being on call 24/7.
I love complex real living systems responsible for managing positive change and helping others change & improve as well as groups working together to achieve positive results.
Also along the way I was so intrigued with the human mind and learning and luckily in my life time along came COGNITIVE SCIENCE – proof that yes we can CHANGE our brains willingly!! Wow! So EXCITING!
And now I have had the absolute pleasure of working with hundreds of determined adults of all ages accidence calm driving every single day. It is the more exciting and rewarding work I have ever done.
And I personally have leaned so so so much about the many different kinds of struggle others face. Plus I have also learned their success strategies. So exciting.
SURPRISING PERSONAL DISCOVERY
Plus plus I have discovered so many parts of myself that I really never truly new were present. My own personal silent struggle, never voiced or never heard was revealed through my 500 clients work. So I have learned to face my own anxieties, fears and social pressures which prior to this last 6 year population, I never had a word to describe what I was experiencing. Yes I have always lived with great anxiety plus several other social pressure issues 🙂 Obvious to me now but I was always told my uniqueness was a weakness and that I was simply “bad.’ HaHaHaHa Such stupid terms.
TODAY
So come share your struggle, your own unique journey of oncoming this very powerful potentially dangerous driving thing! You are truly the expert of your own journey to date. And I am excited to listen to what you have learned to date! And now you have someone else to compare notes with 🙂 Plus I bring 500 other stories with me including my own! And yes the good new is you now have company. But the bad news is, soon one day the one person who needs to figure out your own calm pathway, is you!
And I am great company along the way.

Come be that good driver you are meant to be.
