Why Train With AgileSherpas?

In addition to co-authoring the ICAgile curriculum, our Sherpas have worked with more Agile marketers than any other training team in the world. We've seen everything from highly regulated industries like pharma and finance to tricky specialties like in-house creative teams to external marketing agencies.

Through our work with all these marketers, we've seen the impact of marketing leadership, both positive and negative. Well-equipped, self-aware leaders can successfully shepherd a team through the trials of transformation; those who cling to traditional leadership styles struggle to gain the benefits of agility they're after.  

This workshop provides marketing leaders with the guidance they need to leave command and control behavior behind and step into the more impactful (and enjoyable) world of Agile leadership. Successful graduates will leave with the tools they need to lead more engaged marketing teams to better outcomes.
