On our FB members forum this week, member Ivan Storck asked what other programs are available to boost SUP instructor skills. Following up on Ivan's question, here's a short list of additional programs to boost your guide and instructor skills. Find more programs and ideas on the member Resources page on our site. Having solid business and people skills as well as working knowledge of First Aid / CPR, guiding trips, risk management (making smart decisions) and rescue skills all help in becoming successful. For those in business it's important to have a grip on SEO, marketing, PR, pricing, event management, good environmental practices, curriculum development and bookkeeping and accounting. I'll cover each of the above in future newsletters and often post articles on each on the member FB forum.
