Examples of guidance in a Sentence

1. Stephen Pearce:

   People were very pleased with the progress we've made on costs, very pleased with the guidance we were providing on the cost journey ahead of us and the certainty and clarity we provided, and with a little bit of an uptick in the iron ore price, yesterday was the time to go back to the market.

2. Holli Armstrong:

   We encourage the winner, whoever they are, to sign the back of their ticket, put it in a safe place and speak to someone they trust for guidance before claiming the money.

3. Vestas CEO Anders Runevad:

   The target is our best estimate at this point in time so early on in the year. They are minimum guidance, so of course we can do better.

4. Eric Foley:

   First lady Ri seems to have been portrayed as offering guidance – not to her husband, of course, but to the factory workers. It is rare for anyone other than Kim Jong Un, or Kim Jong Il or Kim Il Sung before him, to publicly offer guidance to anyone, even at the highest level, most trusted people are rarely ever shown doing that. So this certainly shows a high level of official trust in her. It also suggests an effort to bolster and soften the public positioning of the Pyongyang line to have him visit a cosmetics factory, and have them both appearing to offer guidance to the workers.

5. Leonard Carollo:

   These two women preyed on vulnerable victims who turned to them in a time of grief and sadness. But instead of offering guidance, these greedy women betrayed the trust of hundreds of victims and mutilated their loved ones, without knowledge or consent, the women disrespected the wishes of the grieving victims and degraded the bodies of their family members to sell them for profit.
