What does it really mean to feel confident behind the wheel — and in your life?
In this episode, I’m speaking to Robert Weldon (Bob) a driving instructor with nearly forty years of experience teaching in London. I came to Bob a mature learner, determined to pass my test first time, and continued lessons afterwards partly for skill-building, partly for the mentorship and friendship.
We explore how Bob’s deep-rooted confidence has shaped his approach to teaching driving and life—his calm under pressure, his ability to adapt to people and how teaching for decades has kept him sharp, humble, and grounded by a sense of humour that’s helped him navigate all kinds of people.
Through stories and driving metaphors—being in the driver’s seat of your life, shifting gears, slowing down before a leap—we dive into how confidence is literally a skill you build with practice, awareness, and grounded self-trust.
Whether you’re learning something new, recovering from failure, navigating change, or simply wanting to feel more steady in life, this conversation offers no-nonsense wisdom and actionable perspective.
