Inspiring keynote from Phyllida Hancock of Olivier Mythodrama
Transformational Leadership – Inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest
Shakespeare's genius provides timeless insights into the human nature of transformational leadership, while the narrative drive of his great play The Tempest reveals the vital ingredients of a successful change initiative.
What kind of ‘storm’ do you need to create? How can you tell a compelling story to truly engage others? Can you manage different reactions and reframe the challenge accordingly? How might you need to change in order for the bigger change to be successful?
This memorable keynote session, with a lively mix of input, discussion and experiential exercises, will engage delegates and provide insights to build on for the rest of the conference, and to take back to your workplace.
Olivier Mythodrama clients are full of praise for their energy, passion and approach.
“The finest and potentially highest yielding investment in our leadership development history to date”
CEO, Fujitsu

Refreshments will be served in The Gallery, a curved room framed by ornate ceiling and chandeliers. The Ladies’ Smoking Room – the historic first venue in which women were permitted to smoke – makes for unforgettable peer-to-peer networking during refreshment breaks throughout the day. It offers a relaxed space to engage with experts in informal display zones. It will also be used for the Olivier Mythodrama breakout workshop after the morning coffee break.
