Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum to host Book Signing with PR Legend Robert Dilenschneider
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum will host Robert L. Dilenschneider for a book signing and Q&A Featuring his newest release titled, Character: Life Lessons in Courage, Integrity, and Leadership. The event is free, but seating is limited. Reservations recommended.
The book offers a powerful examination of how this vital trait shaped the lives of some of history’s most iconic figures. Drawing on his expertise as a leadership advisor, Dilenschneider explores the lives of influential individuals across various fields, from politics and science to religion, whose character-driven leadership left an indelible mark on the world.
In these twenty-nine inspiring portraits, Dilenschneider uncovers the qualities of character that helped these leaders overcome adversity, create lasting change, and shape the future. How did Nelson Mandela’s resilience guide him through hardship? What can we learn from Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell’s courage in the face of war? How did Walt Disney’s tenacity build an entertainment empire? And how did John McCain’s loyalty and dedication to his fellow soldiers shape his leadership philosophy?
Through these stories and others, Dilenschneider shows how Character unites their legacies and provides a blueprint for future generations. This book offers a wealth of insights for the young leaders, innovators, and influencers of tomorrow, offering direction and mentorship from the wisdom of those who have led with integrity, courage, and purpose.
Mr. Dilenschneider’s book, published by Citadel Press, will be available for purchase at the event through Diane’s Books, Greenwich, CT.
