For anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is to hold, as ’it were, the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.
What’s in it for you?
People are what matters most in business. So do their beliefs. Beliefs are formed by experiences. Voices, images and sounds of the environment shape our perception of the world. Sometimes we narrow the lens to ‘protect’ our familiar perceptions. But sometimes we need to change our perspective – to embrace experiences outside of this lens. Playing Shakespeare applied widens your perspective and gives you an insight into the changes you need to make to make your business/ organization/ process more sustainable.
