“Cord’s Agile Marketing for Marketers workshop was incredibly well done. He introduced and walked our entire marketing team through what is Agile and how it works. He presented in an easy to understand and interesting way. By the time our training was done, we understand how Agile works and immediately began making plans to integrate into our organization. Cord was exactly what we were looking for!”

Michelle G.

“I was honestly a little sceptical that a one day training could really help an organization our size, but Cord without question proved us wrong. His workshop was engaging, interesting and educational all in one. The workshop included numerous exercises that kept everyone involved and before I realized it; we were actually thinking and planning using Agile. Cord provided us the foundation and plan needed to help take our organization to the next level.”

Alan R.

“I received nothing except great feedback from my team on Cord’s Agile Marketing for Marketers workshop. Cord did a great job of explaining how works while showing the team how they can integrate it into our team and company. The only thing my team was unhappy about was they did not believe they had enough time with Cord! That’s high praise coming from my team.”

Richard T.

“What most impressed me about Cord’s Agile Marketing for Marketers workshop was Cord’s understanding on how marketing organization work in real world. Cord understood that our large team like many organizations could not change our processes and procedures overnight. He explained how Agile can work with our existing process and integrate to allow us to work better, smarter and faster. That really resonated with me and my team. Cord understood how things work in the real world and provided us with the knowledge and recommendations on how to be better.”

Erica S.

“My team was looking for a training partner that could educate us while engaging and keeping the attention of a large group. We found all that and more with Cord’s workshop. Cord brought a lot of knowledge, a great personality and a training program that had us working as a team throughout the training. Cord’s main goal of his workshop was to get us up and executing Agile right then and there and definitely accomplished that goal. Cord was amazing to work with and we plan to continue working with him moving forward.”
