History Shows Us What's Possible
Focus on what remains.
Tired of the chaos of change? Want to understand yourself and other people a little better? Figure out why things donât always work out the way you want them to? Make a positive difference and create a better tomorrow?
History & Shakespeare: looking to the past for a better future.
History gives us fun and jokes and spies and people who did amazingly good and amazingly bad things. Shakespeare puts in all in words (a bunch of which he made up or made popular). Ideas about how to understand people and understand yourself, about how to make great decisions and recover from bad ones. Stories about love and hate and families and power and trust and how to blow it all up. And what you can do to leave a positive legacy.

Two paths to explore:
History and Today
What is history? Not just lists of dates and battles and victories and defeats. Itâs an exploration of people and their decisions. Itâs about who we are today and where we came from and where weâre going. Itâs about figuring out who gets remembered and who doesnât and why. Itâs about making connections, about the present speaking with the past and asking questions about the future. Itâs about what changes and what doesnât, and maybe what should.
The way we think and speak about history, the choices we make about which stories to tell and which voices to amplify, can make all the difference. It shapes the way we live today and the future we create for tomorrow. History shows us whatâs possible.

Leadership through History
Do you feel like everything is changing? The workplace is changing, with people in the office and people at home and people at a âremoteâ location that could be everywhere. Meetings are  changing, with debates about online or in-person or hybrid. Technology is changing, with updates and overhauls coming at the worst possible time. Get the latest, it must be the greatest! Get the new, it must be improved!
What if instead we stop chasing and take a deep breath and choose of focus on what doesnât changeâwhat remains, what we can count on, what is timeless.
Times change. Leadership principles donât. You can put hundreds of years of leadership success to work for you.
