Guides

The guides control the degree of diffferent on the expedition.

vTx guides lead the process aspects of Thinking Expeditions: the overall flow of events, routes and paths, organization and logistics, energy, risk management and mindshifts. They bring expedition expertise and knowledge, tools, techniques, processes and tips, and create energy through facilitating leadership. The guides control the rate at which the expedition moves, the level of change at which it operates, and how far out of the box it pushes.
