The Sherpa job is to set up camp, manage the porters, ensure that loads are evenly distributed and be responsible for the trekking group’s safety. Sherpa’s also need to liaise with the clients, support them along the track and then run ahead to make sure the tea is on the boil when clients arrive at camp.
Often thought of as self-sacrificing, tenacious best friends of the foreign mountaineer, successful Sherpa will be all too happy to boast that they are doing well enough to employ non-Sherpa ethnicities to schlep loads for them and their clients.
At JHTI, this is our focus for our clients. To tackle every task with a servant leadership “can do” attitude, just like a Sherpa does when helping and coaching their clients up a mountain. A Sherpa’s task is to make the journey easier, more enjoyable, and ultimately, more rewarding. That is what we accomplish for our clients and we can do the same for you!
