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.
