Thanks for the encouragement, folks.
One last thought. When you are training the non-elite client, especially one who has been doing conventional programming, be patient. It took me three years of messing with hard style training before the light went on. I had brought a lot of bad ideas with me, including those I learned at a well-known certification program.
The irony is that if I just would have listened to Dan John in his introduction to ETK (Do this!), I would have progressed much faster. Don't baby your clients, you have to tell them the truth, but also realize that some "re-education" may be necessary. When in doubt, tell them to do exactly what Pavel says. You really can't go wrong that way.
