Getting ready for Tudorcon!
It’s bigger and better than ever this year!
Nathen Amin is coming across the pond for a keynote on the 23rd!
I’ll be one of the speakers on the 24th.
Even more fun on the 25th!
You don’t want to miss it.
I love going for walks and listening to books.
Right now, I am enjoying Stephen Fry’s Royal Secrets: The Elizabethans.
Stephen has a great voice, and I’m delighted to hear from some of my favorite historians, including Dr Elizabeth Norton.
What books are you listening to?

Henry VIII is one of the most famous kings of England.
Or is that infamous?He was obsessed with what became known as his Great Matter: having a son!
Helene Harrison joins Royals, Rebels, and Romantics next week to discuss her new book about Henry VIII and his Great Matter!
Shakespeare’s Woman of the Week: Rosalind in As You Like It.
One of my favorite of her lines: “When I think, I must speak.”
Rosalind is determined to control her own life, running off to the forest for more freedom.
She is fun with a sparkling wit and playful approach to life.
Why do the Tudors continue to capture our imagination?
Maybe it’s because they are “horrible” and “peculiar”.
At least what these fun books tell us.
Leadership often means taking action, sometimes quickly.
But how can you be sure you take the right action?
The right action comes from the right choices.
This month’s special Leadership Series of Royals, Rebels, and Romantics explores the impact of choices.
