Carol Ann Lloyd--Put 400 Years of Success to Work Keynote Speaker from Burke, VA

Timeless wisdom. Modern solutions. Lasting leadership. You can access the most successful, time-tested, and lasting leadership lessons of all time. They're not the latest fad and they don't need to be updated or upgraded every few months. You and your team can rely on the greatest collection of leadership case studies ever assembled to meet the challenges today. All in the works of the greatest, most consistent best-selling author of all time: William Shakespeare! Shakespeare wrote about leadership and leaders: the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. Why hire a historian to speak about leadership? Because through hundreds of years, patterns emerge about what works, what doesn't and why--over and over again. Shakespeare captures these patterns in stories that have shaped our thoughts and lives for hundreds of years. From the key to Henry V's famous "we band of brothers" speech to the surprising lessons of Juliet, Carol Ann will take you ot the heart of leadership lessons that will make a lasting change.
