 "Change is inevitable. But progress is not. Each one of use could make the difference." So says motivational speaker, educator and bestselling business and self help author, Dr. Rick Kirschner. "We have updated and refreshed theartofchange.com web site to make our offerings more readily available to our clients and potential clients who seek to make a positive difference in their workplace, in their families and communities."

Rick, or 'Dr. K' as his clients refer to him, believes the skill set necessary to create real change must include, "Communication skills, obviously. But more specifically, people serious about change need to turn contacts into connections, be able to both prevent and resolve conflict, and be able to present their ideas persuasively. Ideally, they will also have the leadership skills to bring people together and get them to work together for mutual benefit."

For anyone interested in gaining the skills for change, The Art of Change LLC web site offers outlines, an area for journalists and reporters interested in interviewing Dr. Kirschner, and a blog that is updated weekly with fresh content. There is a news scroller which can be accessed by clicking on a large red button on the home page, which contains all of Dr. Kirschner's most recent appearances, as well as the latest news on upcoming appearances and speaking engagements. Site visitors will also find news items with links to articles about him or written by him that appear elsewhere on the web.

The home page includes 4 tabs to key content. The last tab provides access to a list of videos that can be viewed with a click.

The web site also has a store that's open 24/7, containing several of Dr. Kirschner's books, ebooks and audio offerings, including his comprehensive communication program, 'Insider's Guide To The Art Of Persuasion,' 'Life By Design,' and more.

"With my new book 'How To Click With People' coming out this summer, and the release of the audiobook version of my bestseller 'Dealing With People You Can't Stand' just last month, this seems like the right time to iron out the wrinkles in the web site and make it more accessible.
