Influential Agile Leader, Boston and London, 2016 - No Fluff Just Stuff

Influential Agile Leader, Boston and London, 2016

Posted by: Johanna Rothman on January 28, 2016

Is your agile transition proceeding well? Or, is it stuck in places—maybe the teams aren’t improving, maybe the people are multitasking, maybe you are tired and don’t know how you’ll find the energy to continue.

You are the kind of person who would benefit from the Influential Agile Leader event in Boston, April 6-7, and in London, May 4-5, 2016.

Gil Broza and I co-facilitate. It’s experiential, so you learn by doing. You practice your coaching and influence in the mornings. You’ll have a chance to map your organizational dynamics to see where to put your energy. You’ll split into smaller sessions in the afternoon, focusing on your business challenges.

If you would like to bring your agile transition to the next level, or, at the very least, unstick it, please join us.

Super early bird registration ends January 31 for London. Our super early bird for Boston is sold out, and the early bird registration is still a steal.

If you have questions, please post a comment or email me. Hope to work with you there.

(See the servant leadership tag for the Pragmatic Manager  and the leadership tag on this blog to see relevant articles I’ve written before.)
