Robert Dilenschneider Book Signing and Q&A

The Mansion is honored to introduce Robert L. Dilenschneider and his new book, Character: Life Lessons in Courage, Integrity, and Leadership to its museum audiences. This fascinating book signing and Q&A with one of the most influential and charismatic PR gurus of the 21st century will give us a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this inspirational book and the notable figures explored by Mr. Dilenschneider.

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.
