The thing I learned in my trainer role is that no one has the answers, and that life is just one big A/B test. If one thing does not work, try another thing. There are no wrong answers, only methods that do not work in that particular environment. Get over yourself and your ego, move on and try something else.
Also: no one is going to save you. BUT, in the same breath, no one is going to stop you either, if you are the expert put into your role. It is ok to try.
And communication, like in every relationship, is literally the fucking KEY to everything.
