What is Guidance?

The steady, experienced hand that helps others find their way through complexity. Good guides do not give answers — they help people develop the capacity to find their own.

When you might feel guidance

Guidance is a specific form of leadership, which itself is a type of justice. You might experience this feeling in situations where justice is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define guidance.
