Dan, great post and thanks for seeing the goal of the class. The value of being a Guide is not just a focus area, it is the result of years of analysis and observation in many different settings. The guide process is the one that tends to provide the best overall management style and fosters the best consistency in outcomes. This does not imply that an overnight change is required to achieve your goals as an instructor but the pursuit of focusing on the goals of the Guide will tend to take you in the best possible direction of enhanced outcomes.
