There were a handful of good things to ponder here, but most of it is stuff that people know if they've ever led anything at all before. I hadn't realized, I suppose, that the intended audience is laypeople with zero leadership or teaching experience. As I am not that audience at all, I didn't get a whole lot out of this. I do appreciate that it's only a little bit of an infomercial for LifeGuide's stuff--it could have been a whole lot more in my face about their products and wasn't.
