Persuading people to change isn’t easy. Exploring Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Richard Olivier will offer a fresh and creative approach to change management.

See how to use language effectively to create compelling reasons for change and communicate your objectives clearly. Nobody likes change at first but The Tempest will demonstrate how you can create the right climate for change, manage reactions to it and successfully see it through.
